Herd And Grill - Healesville

Absolutely great experience! Friendly bar and service staff. Quick service. Amazing food. Highly recommended the eggplant chips and Turkish delight donuts!!

This place was recommended by one of the workers at a respected winery. We ordered quite a few dishes, all of them was full of flavours! This is such a small appetiser but oysters (I’m a huge oyster fan)!!! Never had it with seaweed but it actually increases the “ocean” flavore!! Fried eggplant was so crispy and yum, I started to make this at home too. We also had steaks and rib. Steaks were so juicy, I even finished the sauce. Rib was good too but very small portion. I would definitely recommend this place though if anyone is going to yarra valley.

Came up from Melb for the weekend, came here for lunch and everything was just awesome. Could not have picked a better way to kick off the weekend. Would drive back up just to go there again easily. Food was fantastic, alcohol selection has everything you need and its all local. Went there just after the lunch rush so it was quiet too.

We were a little apprehensive about this one after reading the reviews but this little hidden Healesville secret is a must!!! The food was just perfect we tried a few cuts of beef as well as the chicken and each piece was cooked to perfection. The little turkish delight donuts are also a must too! I will be back!

Herd Bar wasn't originally on our list when we were exploring the Yarra Valley. However, after a few locals, we met along the way recommended we have dinner there, we quickly changed course and decided to try it out. Afterall, small plates are generally my favorite way to dine hello taste testing! We didn't have a reservation, but luckily we were grabbing dinner early, and it was a weekday. So we were created promptly and sat near the wine cellar quickly. The dark lighting made for a more intimate setting, but at the same time, the pillows scattered along the seating areas made it feel casual. With a great selection of beer and wine, we soon had some delicious beverages to kick off the evening.<br/ <br/ For dinner, we ordered the eggplant fries, roasted cauliflower, fried calamari, grilled chicken with tzatziki sauce, Turkish delight doughnuts for dessert. The eggplant fries were crisp surprisingly very flavorful, especially with the aioli sauce for dipping! I couldn't get over how incredible the cauliflower was; I could have eaten an entire plate of just that! From the capers to the yogurt sauce, it was a well constructed little dish! The calamari was crispy, but perhaps slightly overcooked. The chicken was nice and juicy, packed with flavor and paired so well with that tzatziki sauce classic! Now the best part, besides the cauliflower, was the dessert. Those little Turkish delight jam filled balls of dough were SO tasty! Served warm with buttermilk ice cream, I couldn't have been happier and fulfilled!<br/ <br/ If I had to choose between Herd and some of the other more well known spots to eat in Healesville, I would definitely come here! Friendly staff, quick service, great atmosphere, and delicious food!
