Creating a buzz among food lovers is this latest venture by lauded chef (and local boy) Aaron Turner. The set tasting menus change on a whim, incorporating a mix of Indigenous and European flavours from saltbush to oyster leaf, and marron to squab, using a wood-fired grill fuelled by ironbark and red gum.
Staff are exemplary, bringing a fine-dining experience without a hint of stuffiness, and you're likely to hear the Ramones or Nick Cave on the sound system. Foodies with an interest in watching the action can grab a stool to dine at the bar overlooking the open kitchen. Stick around for a Geelong-roasted coffee and complimentary freshly baked cakes.
