A place to refuel, recharge, and savour Warrnambool’s coastal dining.
Just steps from the steamy mineral waters of the Deep Blue Hot Springs, Tides Café, Bar & Restaurant is the perfect place to transition from blissful bathing to nourishing dining. Whether you’re warming up after a soak in the open-air sanctuary, pausing between spa treatments, or winding down at the end of the day, Tides offers fresh flavours, premium ingredients, and a relaxed atmosphere that lets the hot springs calm linger long after you’ve left the water.
From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. daily, Tides serves a buffet breakfast with fresh fruit, pastries, cereals, and hot dishes. Guests can combine it with the Breakfast and Bathe package, which includes access to either the open-air Hot Springs Sanctuary or the Indoor Bath House.
The daytime menu offers salads, wraps, hot dishes, and cabinet treats such as muffins and cakes. The Lunchtime Soak & Graze option pairs any lunch item with a bathing session, ideal for those spending the day at the springs.
After 5 p.m., the dinner menu features starters like Whipped Ricotta Dip with chargrilled sourdough, truffle oil, and sea salt, and Duck Spring Rolls with garlic and red currant sauce. Mains include the Fish of the Day with prawn wonton and lemongrass butter sauce, and Beef Eye Fillet with parmesan polenta, Asian mushrooms, cracked pepper spinach, and red wine jus. Dessert includes options like Chocolate Biscuit Cake with Chantilly cream.
For something special, the Chef’s Signature 5-Course Tasting Menu ($75pp) offers a curated journey through the highlights of the menu but if you’d rather keep things simple, Tides’ Fruit & Cheese Platters or Tea Forte over ice are just as easy to enjoy in your room as they are in the restaurant.
From early-morning energy to late-night indulgence, Tides is more than just a café or restaurant — it’s a nourishing part of the Warrnambool hot springs experience, best enjoyed at your own pace.
