Perfect Drop - Daylesford

Country Victoria is really giving us City Slickers a run for our money and a Perfect Drop in Daylesford is probably the best example of this that I have recently come across.

The three of us have just returned from another fantastic eating fuelled weekend in Daylesford this time joined by Chloe, Tony and Tigi's best little buddy, Max.

The hosts at A Perfect Drop are down to earth, warm and welcoming and make us feel very much at home considering we are wielding two prams containing a couple of very bubbly babies.  We are given our own little dining room in the restaurant with a roaring fire and lots of space ensuring we don't spend our whole lunch worrying about disrupting other diners meals.  Our host brings us some toys for the babes and more importantly the wine list and menus for us adults (Hmm adult! Is that what I am now?

The dishes can be shared or not...and what I was most impressed with was that I actually walked away feeling as though this meal was worth the money because of the passion and effort put into each dish and also because the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous.

The crew at Perfect Drop pride themselves on sourcing and showcasing local produce and they have definitely achieved this as you will see in my pictures below. 

 Beef brisket with hamine egg

 White anchovies and boiled quail egg on toast, micro herbs 

Potato salad with dried beef and poached egg

Slow roasted suckling pig

Baharat spiced crumbed venison and venison sausages, Dutch cream and celeriac mash, local chestnuts and shallot

 Chocolate brownie with halva ice-cream and persian fairy floss

Creme Brulee

Well it is obvious that this place is a winner so all I can say to wrap up todays post is that I know there are a lot of good restaurants and cafes to choose from in Daylesford but please, for your taste buds sake dont miss Perfect Drop!
