Red Poppy Bistro - Ararat

This Subway location, while basic, is always bustling with customers. The menu items are the standard fare you would expect at any Subway chain. The positive aspects include the freshness of the food and the fact that there are two staff members available to take your order.

During our travels, we stopped at this restaurant for lunch and found the venue to be great and the staff really nice. However, we were disappointed with the food - the satay skewers had no satay, the chips were cold, and the salad had no dressing. We were unable to eat it and left very disappointed.

If you're looking for a place to eat in Ararat on a Sunday, head to Ararat RSL. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is fantastic, the meals are generous and delicious, and the pricing is reasonable. Highly recommended.

Visiting Ararat while staying at Moyston. Main menu was a variety of chicken schnitzels and chicken dishes but there was a specials menu that had a roast and a beef schnitzel choice. Partner had beef schnitzel, chips and gravy (only plain gravy available) and I had roast lamb. We sat out on the balcony overlooking the park so we could have our dog tied up on the fencing next to us. Meal was quickly delivered. My partner said his beef schnitzel was grissley. Lamb roast came with boiled/roast potatoes, peas, mint sauce, parsnip and carrots and gravy. Was a good portion.

My wife and I ate dinner at the red poppy during an overnight stay in Ararat. The service was quick, food was excellent, and reasonably priced. Do try the fried Banana desert you won't regret it.
