The Eureka Vets CC are excited to welcome Europa Café on as W.A.R.S. sponsor in 2015.

Located at 411 Sturt Street in the centre of Ballarat, we can think of no better place to relax,
either apres velo (after cycling) or just because it’s warm and friendly.

Kathryn and Jason wanted to be involved with the club and show their support for local sport.

Just a block and 1/2 “up” from the Town Hall, Europa Café is perfectly situated close to the Central Square shopping precinct.

Europa is a spacious, inexpensive family style café, where the coffee is great and the buzz is lively.
The lunch/dinner menu is seasonal and ranges from Italian to venturesome and imaginative Middle Eastern and Asian dishes.
The wine list is extensive and admirable with many by the glass.
All day breakfast at Europa has become something of an institution.
If you are visiting from out of town you should have at least one breakfast during your stay…
if you are a local Kathryn, Jason and the team look forward to seeing you again and again and again…

Open everyday from 7:00am for breakfast and lunch.
