Elsewhere is passionate about supporting locals. They work with local suppliers and producers to source products as close to home as reasonably possible. When that’s not possible, they trust that by supporting a local business to source goods externally, the local economy can still benefit. Their team works incredibly hard to offer an ever-changing menu with dishes rotating on and off as produce is at its finest. They don’t believe in quarterly menu changes; they adapt as soon as an ingredient becomes unsustainable to keep on the menu.
The kitchen team is led by Head Chef, Sean Cameron, who brings over two decades of diverse culinary experience and unique style to Elsewhere. While they’ve had very regular menu rotations since their inception, their highlights include: Okonomiyaki – a fan favourite staple on the menu since day one – Elsewhere Thick Cut Maple Bacon – partnering with a local butcher in Shepparton, Brad’s Magic Meats, they collaborated to create a pork belly bacon infused with maple and orange, and Elsewhere Bowls – what truly sets Elsewhere apart is their one-of-a-kind ‘Bowls’ menu, where guests are invited to indulge in chef-curated creations or embark on a ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ experience, crafting a flavour journey all your own.

The café features Birds of a Feather Coffee, a blend by Evolve North.

They have been incredibly fortunate and proud to be the only café offering this award-winning blend in the Goulburn Valley.
The ambience at Elsewhere is a blend of laid-back comfort and stylish charm, creating a space that feels as welcoming as home yet offers the intrigue of being somewhere entirely new.

Alongside the exceptional food, the attentive and friendly customer service ensures that every guest feels valued and welcomed, making each visit a truly special occasion.
