Police are looking for two men after a restaurant was robbed at knifepoint in Geelong last night.

Police were called to the local establishment on Geringhap Street around 8.40pm after two men fled with a till from the front counter.

It is believed one of the men waited outside whilst his accomplice entered the restaurant armed with a knife.

The alleged offender tried to break open the cash drawer before stealing the whole till.

Both men fled north on foot along Geringhap Street before heading left on Ryrie Street.

The offender armed with the knife is described as approximately 175 cm tall, skinny build, 20 to 22-years-old, wearing light blue denim jeans and a long sleeved shirt. He had sandy hair and was wearing a cloth or similar piece of material across his face.

Almost 20 patrons were also present at the time of the robbery and no one was injured.
