| A remnant from Ballarat's Gold Rush era, the Royal George Hotel was little more than a dank drinking hole until two years ago. Melissa MacFarlane and Frank Moylan, formerly hosts of the Farmer's Arms, rescued the heritage building by carefully renovated it into a remarkable restaurant. As founding members of the Daylesford Macedon Produce group, they are strong advocates of using local goods. But of course, being in the central highlands, why would they consider using anything else? There's the free-range Western Plains pork, beef and lamb from Kyneton, the finest cheese Meredith has to offer and Istra smallgoods from Musk.
Chef Matt Fegan draws on the Mediterranean for inspiration, particularly Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Greece. The results include such delightful dishes as the Portuguese spiced pork belly with parsley cream and diced candied morcilla sausage. If you want to know the meaning of real indulgence make sure you try the lakma, finger-shaped doughnut bread that you dip in Turkish coffee-flavoured chocolate sauce.
