EllaGoose Restaurant & Functions is a licensed restaurant and function centre ideally located in the main shopping precinct of Benalla. Situated just off the main street, the business occupies a large premises with fantastic exposure to passing traffic.

For more than 16 years, this locally owned and operated business has serviced Benalla and the surrounding area including the local tourist trade.

EllaGoose Restaurant & Functions specialise in delicious, modern Australian cuisine with a French influence. The good-sized restaurant can cater for up to 60 diners and for all types of events. There is a large private function room with its own bar that can seat up to 140 patrons. There are also two semi-private areas used for smaller functions. These can cater for up to 25 guests and are great for small get-togethers.

Upstairs, there is a recently renovated 3-bedroom apartment freshly painted throughout with new carpet and built in robes in all bedrooms. There are two living areas, new kitchenette, new bathroom with oversized shower plus laundry. The apartment has separate external access to Nunn Street and can be rented out separately if desired.

The business currently operates for 15 hours per week; with the restaurant opening Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6pm – 9:30pm and Friday and Saturday evenings from 6:00pm – 10pm. Extending the trading hours or the introduction of Sunday trading would increase the potential to earn additional revenue.

There is further opportunity to grow the business within the functions trade. The current owner has focused mainly on the restaurant and recognises the potential to grow the business in this area.
