The Q Train
About The Q Train
The Q Train is a moving restaurant experience that runs along the historic Bellarine Railway between Drysdale and Queenscliff. It’s not just a meal—it’s a multi-course journey through some of the Bellarine Peninsula’s best produce, wine, and coastal scenery. You’ll dine inside restored heritage carriages as the train rolls through farmland and bushland, with each course timed to match the views outside. It’s polished but not pretentious, and whether you’re celebrating something or just want to try something different, it delivers on both food and atmosphere.
When to visit
Late summer into early autumn is the best time to visit. The weather is warm, the skies are clear, and the overall experience is comfortable without the height of summer crowds.
Most popular: February - March
