Qdos Arts
Gallery, sculpture garden, cafe and luxurious accommodationEstablished in 1989, Qdos began as Lorne's first contemporary art gallery on Mountjoy Pde. Qdos was relocated to Allenvale road in 1998. The new Qdos was designed in collaboration with Peter Brook director of Peddle Thorpe Architects Melbourne and Graeme Wilkie, the director. This new venue offered the scope to bring a greater diversity of cultural events to Lorne. Qdos Arts offers the finest accommodation and dining on the coast, only minutes from the village. Imagine dining at dusk alfresco under the floodlight, towering eucalypts or in the gallery surrounded by great fine art. Our new, innovative chefs bring you a modern European cuisine that will challenge any other. We are specialists in event management: weddings, parties, corporate functions and catering.
