Modern dining with a Thai twist



Tucked just off the main street in Healesville, Herd Bar & Grill has earned its reputation as one of the Yarra Valley’s most beloved dining spots. This stylish yet relaxed restaurant brings together the best of modern Australian cuisine with vibrant Thai influences, creating a menu that is both refined and deeply satisfying.

Led by skilled chefs with a passion for fresh, local ingredients, Herd’s menu features bold flavours and creative pairings. Signature offerings include premium grass-fed steaks, grilled over lump coal for a deep, smoky flavour. Whether it’s a perfectly cooked eye fillet or porterhouse, Herd’s steaks are a highlight—tender, flavourful, and consistently rated among the best in the region.

The menu also shines with a range of mouth-watering dishes, such as coconut avocado crab salad, Thai chicken curry, prawn and pomelo betel leaf, and bread and butter pudding for dessert. The subtle Thai accents throughout add a unique twist while keeping the dishes grounded in local produce and seasonality.

The restaurant is fully licensed, with a well-curated drinks list featuring local wines and inventive cocktails. Whether you’re in for a casual mid-week dinner, celebrating a special occasion, or hosting a private function, Herd strikes a balance between upmarket sophistication and genuine, welcoming service.

Locals and visitors alike return for the consistently high-quality food, warm atmosphere, and standout steaks. For those exploring Healesville or the Yarra Valley, Herd Bar & Grill delivers a memorable dining experience—flavour-driven, welcoming, and distinctly local.
