New kid on the block, Betel Boy is serving you inspired pan asian food & cocktails in a contemporary and energetic venue, located on the iconic main street of Daylesford, Victoria.
At the helm, Head Chef Chris combines thoughtfully sourced ingredients supplied by regional growers with his talent for Thai flavours and the result is some truly delicious fair.
Sticky Bao Buns, drunk dumplings, sour salads top the menu. Wash it down with a Daylesford beer on tap, a cheeky cocktail or choose from the extensive wine list featuring local growers.
Step in and be seduced by the vibe and surrounds of a considered space and service that makes you feel like you’ve been going there for years. Afterwards you can slip out the back to Boy-Bar, where the music is a little louder and the cocktails a little stronger.
Allow us to showcase all we have to offer. We will provide you with an all out feast over multiple courses which shows the variety of flavours our chefs have created.

The food was tasty. I would say they are an 8/10. A few tweaks and I would they deserve 10/10.
Our waiter who served us on the night was a smoker and his smoky breath is not something I want going up my nose when seeking advice. Please do something about that before your next shift.
I noticed the floor hadn’t been well swept after lunch, something that can’t be unseen. An indicator of a lack of attention to detail. Please straighten up the bar stools to they are uniform.

What's not like here. We had a variety of starters and mains an all were excellent with 6 stars to the Birds Nest pastry spring rolls. Great bearded wait staff guy with wit and advice. Comfortable booth seating, and smooth lounge soundtrack to accompany everything. Highly recommend and 8.5/10 from a hard marker.

It was alright, the service was extremely poor, having me go up to ask for menu and it took 45 minutes to get served our drinks. It took a while to order food had to flag someone down to do so. The food was oversaturated with mint we could hardly taste anything else. It was just a bit of a mess.
