Restaurants For Sale in Ballarat Central West Vic VIC

Opportunities to acquire a hospitality business delivering this combination of revenue, profitability, lifestyle, and lease security are exceptionally rare.

Generating approximately $1.6 million in annual revenue and more than $6,000 per week in adjusted EBITDA, this highly regarded restaurant has established itself as a destination dining venue within one of Regional Victoria's most affluent and tightly held lifestyle markets.

Operating just five days per week, the business benefits from a loyal local customer base, strong destination tourism trade, and a reputation built on quality, consistency, and exceptional customer experiences. The venue continues to attract both residents and visitors seeking a premium dining offering within a region renowned for its food, wine, and lifestyle appeal.

The business is currently operated under a semi-managed structure, supported by an experienced Restaurant Manager and established team. The current owner has stepped away from day-to-day operations, allowing the business to demonstrate its ability to perform independently of owner involvement.

A standout feature is the exceptionally low occupancy cost. Operating across two prominent shopfronts, the business enjoys a combined annual rental of approximately $55,000, representing just 3.5% of annual revenue. Combined with a secure lease extending through to 2044, the business offers long-term stability and cost certainty rarely found in hospitality businesses of this calibre.
The venue is supported by a full commercial kitchen and bar, a liquor licence for 146 patrons, and all plant and equipment are owned outright. Well-developed systems, onboarding procedures, and operational processes provide a seamless transition for an incoming purchaser and immediate cash flow from day one.

Whether you are an experienced operator seeking a flagship regional venue or an investor looking for a profitable hospitality asset with proven systems and management already in place, this opportunity warrants serious consideration.
