sailors' rest

got a lovely table in the sun on a windy morning, the outdoor screens are a great idea. staff were friendly and attentive throughout. i had the vegetarianbreakfastwith added avocado, fresh oj and a coffee. food was just bland, produce didn't taste good quality and avocado was under ripe. coffee was average.

was all good.. and come out quick.. and hadbreakfastand lunch menu going.. and good price. i reccomend. #geelongwaterfront. i had the burger.. bun and pattie delish.. and hot crispy chips.

great all-daybreakfastin geelong. i chose the vegetarianbreakfastand added halloumi. it was affordable, and the quantity enough to satisfy me. staff are very friendly, too. thumbs up!

we were having a really goodbreakfasthere and it was our first trip to came geelong. we had full breakfast, eggs benedict with smoke salmon and burger so delicious! really nice services, thanks :)

hi!

we have eaten here a few times, usually for a weekendbreakfastor lunch. so on this occasion dinner at sailor's rest was a classic parma and chips.

pub grub classics and done well. this night was for a birthday and the service was great and very efficient for 18 people.

*kid friendly, for those interested.

reasonably priced, good menu options and drinks to match.

arrived and it was quite busy! but the staff were able to get a table for us. the service was fast and the food was even better. i got the pancakes with nutella, banana & cream. the picture is a bit deceiving but i couldn't finish it......breakfastnever defeats me but this time it did. it was a delicious combination 😊

i came here this morning excited to have my usual eggs benedict with spinach, i usually have a hashbrown instead of the english muffin and a side of avo. when i placed my order i was told “we aren’t currently serving hash browns because they have none made up” what cafe doesn’t have hash browns for a sunday morning breakfast? feeling depleted i ordered the veggie breakfast. when my food arrived it looked quite depressing. if you’re going to serve small amounts of food, serve it on a smaller plate. the eggs were lovely as always, the tomato was ok, mushrooms were bland. the toast was crispy yet cold and then the smashed avocado was literally just a quarter of an avocado smashed. but you could tell it had been done either the night before or that morning and sat in the fridge because some chunks were slightly frozen and icy. being a regular customer who drives all the way to geelong from maribyrnong for my favourite sunday morningbreakfasti was disappointed with my latest visit to sailors’ rest.

attended geelong for a mid week lunch visit down the foreshore.
i've never eaten in geelong so i walked until i found sailors rest which has a lot of customers dining on the deck in the sunshine.

the feel of this cafe is one you'd expect to see beach or bay side.

review of the menu, stock standard. could tell from reading the menu that thebreakfastoptions would be sub par. i ordered thebreakfastburger anyway and a coffee.

coffee came out weak af, tasted like i was drinking a warm cup of milk. the waiter i told was attentive and replaced it with a strong one even though i told him i'd be happy with just pouring in a extra espresso.

i don't know much for geelong coffee but melbournians are hard to please in the coffee department, i'll leave it at that.

breaky burger. the concept was there but a brioche bun that was doughy and a potato hash brown made it just way too heavy and lacked flavor as the oil from the hash brown took over. i took the hash brown out which allowed for the egg and bacon flavors to rear their head.

service = excellent
food = mediocre
coffee = terrible

had a light lunch here on a recent visit to geelong . located on the waterfront , with great views over port phillip bay , this historic building has both internal and outside seating .

we had a caesar salad & salt & pepper calamari which were both very nice and reasonably priced

the service was also very good and the meals came out very quickly

theirbreakfastmenu also looked interesting. if your in geelong and exploring the fabulous waterfront precinct, sailors rest is well worth a try .

i have been here in the past and have loved the food all the time! we had lunch here on a tuesday and the place was busy frombreakfastpatrons. i had the marinara and chose spaghetti for pasta. i was not disappointed. i am quite pleased with a place that keeps its quality of service and food over the years. all i could say is, well done guys and keep up the great work. will definitely keep up patronage here.

great location and setting, good strong coffee. we had the jack sparrow, a kind of ozifiedbreakfasttaco, with ground beef and poached eggs on sourdough. and also some fried potato cubes. each ingredient tasted ok, however, it lacked some elements, i think it needs some guacamole or salsa and definitely some cheese to take the edge and sameness off the ground beef. on the other hand, you can order grilled atlantic salmon as an extra here, they are awesome!

enjoyedbreakfasthere this morning. beautiful spot just back from the waterfront. service was brilliant considering the early morning rush with several waiters tag teaming our table. i had the fullbreakfastwhich was fantastic. their hash browns are like massive rosti's, probably the best has brown i've ever eaten.

very decent place to have brunch at and the food was really tasty. it is literally a mixture betweenbreakfastand lunch and the proportion of the meals were worth the money we spent. customer service was great and were really attentive to all our needs. the girl who served out big table of 12 was very helpful and did a fine job as a waitress. thank you again and will come from melbourne soon in the near future.

came here forbreakfastnew years day... they were super busy and under the pump. all 4 breakfasts were brought out very promptly and we all cleared our plates. will definitely be back for another breakfast.

awsomebreakfastto keep you going.. was travelling and had a greatbreakfastat sailors rest. seemed popular considering all the tables full but despite that we ordered and got our food quickly. found the wait staff a little young and unprofessional but the food was brilliant. the jack sparrow dish is a must have if you're hungry and got a full day ahead of you. the daily special freshly made juice smoothies were so refreshing on a warm morning as well.
