Our Story: Rooted in the Heart of Bendigo
Omari Bendigo is your café and event space nestled within the Bendigo Botanic Gardens; a place where locals and visitors come together to enjoy great food, good coffee, and the beauty of nature. We serve honest, house-made meals using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, with a menu that caters to all tastes and dietary needs.
After a challenging rebuild following a 2024 venue fire, Omari has re-emerged stronger than ever, focused on great service, community connection, and celebrating everything Bendigo has to offer.
We’re proud to support local suppliers, community events, and not-for-profits, helping Bendigo grow, one meal at a time.
