Mietta's Review
The tables in the long room in this one-time bush hut is set with white cloths onto which are served straight forward bistro meals. Outside is a beautiful garden surrounded by the almost overpowering forests of the Dandenongs. It's a great spot to eat the snacks that Woods also provide.
Other published opinions
Age Good Food Guide 2008 "Asian fusion sits comfortably on Woods' menu and interior, where lacquer-box red and charcoal walls juxtapose with the green of the hills outside"
The Age Good Food Guide 2006 "Enjoying the prettiest garden setting on the picturesque Sherbrooke Road, the terracotta-toned Woods Sherbrooke serves unconventional brekkies like gruyere souffle or feta and chorizo omelette."
The Age Good Food Guide 2005 "THIS ONE-TIME post office - now all polished floorboards and white linen - opens on to a gorgeous garden with disappointing plastic furniture. The food is high-end pub stuff"
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "WOODS Sherbrooke caters to an unhurried clientele, perhaps enchanted by surrounding, towering forest. The long, simple space accommodates diners and local artists' exhibitions."
The Age Cheap Eats 2004 "SURROUNDED by lush forest, this renovated shack offers visitors vibrant food and a chance to browse the sculptures, photography and brushwork of local artists. Inside the classy cafe, tables wear crisp white linen and sparkly glassware."
AGFG 2004, score 13/20, excellent breakfasts
