Victoria's High Country, located in the north-east of the state, is a hidden gem known for its perfect climate for hops, established vineyards, and exceptional produce. One standout restaurant in the region is Provenance, owned by chef Michael Ryan, who infuses his dishes with a love of Japan evident in both technique and flavors. Provenance features two- and three-course à la carte menus, along with a six- to eight-course dégustation menu that showcases local produce.
For a more laid-back dining experience, Mansfield Coffee Merchant offers a casual atmosphere in a converted general store now serving as an industrial-chic coffee roastery. This café provides an all-day menu with popular dishes like smashed avocado. Exploring these and other local eateries is highly recommended during your visit to Victoria's High Country.
