  • Thank you for the delicious lunch today with our elderly clients. The atmosphere and food was great and we enjoyed ourselves

  • Fortnums is a lovely restaurant located in Sassafras. It’s the last restaurant before leaving Sassafras - heading towards Olinda. It’s not too big on the inside but the old style windows allow natural sunlight to pour in making it appear more spacious. They have small chandeliers which adds a lovely touch. The staff are fantastic. Amazing service, always with a smile, very friendly and prompt and willing to do anything that will make your experience more enjoyable. Their coffee is very good and so are their desserts. I had lunch with family in which I chose from the Christmas in July menu. The roast turkey didn’t seem like a roast turkey though (as in, from the oven that I expected). Nevertheless it was still good. It was super busy when I came for lunch but the service remained of a high standard and we didn’t wait that long for our food to arrive. Although when one of our desserts arrives we waited 10 minutes or so for the remainder but the lovely staff did apologies and it didn’t bother us too much, considering they were running of their feet! Would have course come back, as always - but mainly for their good quality coffee and delicious sticky date pudding!

  • We visited for the first time. Absolutely loved the place. I loved the fact that it has windows all over and gives a beautiful vintage vibe to dine in. The food was good as well. I would highly recommend to have a booking on public holidays or weekends. Otherwise might have to wait for a while. If they are busy, food might take around 20 minutes to arrive. Strawberry milkshake recommended. Positive vibes, good food, great ambience, friendly staff, ample of parking on and off the restaurant. Must visit if planning trip towards Dandenong Ranges. We spend $75 for 2 people.

  • My husband and I stopped into Fortnums in Sassafras on a spur-of-the-moment visit after exploring the beautiful Cloudehill Gardens, and it felt like discovering a hidden gem. Every detail was considered, from the crisp linen and fresh flowers on each table to the impeccable service from every staff member. They were genuinely attentive and even surprised us with a thoughtful gesture for our anniversary, even perfectly accommodating our dietary needs. It was such a warm, elegant experience. I can’t wait to visit again with my parents and will be recommending it for my friends and future brides and grooms as they offer an intimate wedding space. Thanks to the team for such a wonderful way to spend our 2nd wedding anniversary.
