Dining in Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges

The pleasures of the table are celebrated in Daylesford and surrounding villages. Local cafes and restaurants specialise in serving up fresh seasonal produce. Dining options are many, including the award-winning Lake House restaurant, a leisurely lunch at Mercato @ Daylesford or Sequioa in Woodend. For a real country pub experience, prop at the popular bar of the Farmer's Arms Hotel in Daylesford or treat yourself to a classic craft-brewed beer in Keatings Hotel in Woodend, home of Holgate Brewhouse.

Street cafés offer city-quality espresso served in a laid-back country atmosphere. Try Frangos and Frangos in Daylesford or Café 101 in nearby Kyneton. In summer enjoy alfresco dining under leafy trees or broad umbrellas and in winter make the most of cosy dining by open log fires at Campaspe House in Woodend or the Mountain Inn at Mt Macedon.
