Atmosphere

Rubens is a small, cosy restaurant on the main road of Hepburn Springs. The bistro is simple and tastefully decorated with timber windows and chairs and a large central fireplace with a wood fire for the cooler months. In summer al fresco dining is available on an enclosed veranda, running the length of the building.

Rubens serves good food at a reasonable price and provides really friendly service. Because the restaurant is small, it’s a good idea to book for dinner as this little place can pack out, particularly on weekends and at holiday time. You should have no trouble getting a table for lunch on most days.
