Gorgeous venue, especially on a sunny day as you can sit out under the vine canopy & enjoy being among the truffiere. The service is impeccable; friendly, knowledgeable staff who know their product. The food is to die for, even if you are not a truffle fiend, and you definitely will not walk out hungry. Lots of local beer & wine to choose from too. All up, a wonderful experience.

We had a two-in-one Valentine’s and Birthday celebration dinner with a great and sumptous four course menu made from local produce which we surely enjoyed especially the smoked trout with caviar and eye fillet steak. A special request for a birthday dessert was well accommodated and executed with a birthday song by the friendly staff and enjoined by fellow diners. Lovely food and atmosphere. Must visit at Daylesford!
