Great Dining experience
This was a wonderful dining experience at the farmer's daughters. The dishes are not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making each bite a delight. Paired with their phenomenal wine selection, the meals here are a treat for the senses.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a special night out or a casual meal with friends. They offer great service, a very informative sommelier, delightful presentation and delicious flavours and textures. The 5 course menu costs $135 + $100 for the wine pairing.
Ideally, I Would have liked each dish to come a few mins earlier to condense eating time down to sub 2 hours for 6 dishes. Overall, it was a worthy experience and I would certainly recommend it.

Our experience was at their restaurant on level 2. Seated at the chef’s table.
Overall 4.2/5 A well thought out menu with a beautiful concept. Journeying through each dish, the ingredients blended well together however we felt there was no real stand out (apart from the soda bread which I personally enjoyed but my partner didn’t!).
The experience overall was lovely. I was able to appreciate ingredients I would not normally in my every day life.
The restaurant’s set menu “Gippsland Getaway” included:
• Beetroot & apple broth, root vegetable ‘tartare’, hazelnut, black garlic
• Soda bread and cultured cream + Baked Baw Baw alpine trout, mountain pepper cream, trout caviar
• Cheffields lamb, pine mushroom, Andean Sunrise potato
• Additional course: Yarragon rabbit, preserved carrot, winter brassicas
• Terramirra Park venison, mole, Jerusalem artichoke, braised chestnut
• Fig & almond tart, blueberry ganache, fig leaf gelato
Price: Set menu $125 + additional course $29 (price per person). Casual fine dining. A little on the pricey side but fair value.
Service: Friendly, courteous.
Venue: There are 3 levels, each with their own vibe and experience. Plenty of seating but book ahead of time.
