There was no better way to spend the afternoon than a lazy long lunch with Mick Nunn from Salt Kitchen Charcuterie and John Harris of Mitchell Harris Wines. Mitchell Harris Wines’ Barrel Room was turned into a classroom for the day, where guests watched demonstrations on how you can work with pigs to prepare dishes using every part of the animal. Each dish which highlighted a certain cured pork was also paired perfectly with a delicious wine by John.
Great wines and food, we had the Mitchell Harris Cab Sav and the cheese board. Super nice and warm, great to get out of the cold. Only thing that was a let down was the coffee.
Beautiful venue with fantastic food and wine to match. Best vegetarian dumplings I’ve ever had. Great selection of wines and beers. Not cheap but worth it!
Favourite wine bar! Inside is a cozy wine bar, perfect place to have a glass of wine and some cheese. There is a nice local wine selection with delicious food 😋 the cheese platter is so good
For starters the crew here are knowledgeable, friendly and attentive - 3 ticks.
Food is amazing, menu evolves regularly.
Tried many wines - been to one Taste of Italy WOW - seriously WOW
But... the unexpected big tick for me is this place knows how to make a mixed drink - a rarity!
Absolutely delicious food. We had the Polenta chips and the Pork Belly. The service was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back.
A very charming bar and friendly service. Had the Rubens and sliders for lunch, and food was absolutely delish! Will def be back when visiting Ballarat again
We love this place and come here most Friday nights. Service is great; staff are friendly and most have made an effort to learn our names and faces. Food is always excellent. Wines are well considered. The venue has loads of character and warmth. This is Ballarat's best bar. Great spot to start your night out, after-work-drinks, and date night.
Love the wine they do ! Had great time there and always fun to go there
Tried few food on their menu, but its good one
Recommended !
Staff is good and friendly :)
This restaurant / tapas bar seemed promising, even though they don't have a full menu, and it was one of the few restaurants open during Australia Day. The drinks menu included a wide selection of cocktails which were as good as any Melbourne bar. The restaurant also had an exclusive bottle shop which offered a wide selection of Australian and international wines. The food selection was hit and miss as some were delicious and others did not live up to their premium price tag. Overall, we would recommend this place for drinks on a night out but do not go in with much expectation on their tapas.
What a fabulous place!!! Nearly walked by as you can't see from outside how amazing this place is. It was freezing & as soon as we walked in it was so warm, fire place, attentive staff & amazing wine. Taylor was fantastic with his wine knowledge & people skills, so much so that we came back for dinner the next night. Food was delicious, potato pizza & polenta chips 👌 also thanks to Meg & Chloe. ❤ We will be back next time we visit Ballarat. Jackie & Mark
Wonderful total experience today, excellent food and attentive service. Many thanks for helping making this a memorable Mother's day.
Stylish, cosy venue that is perfect for everything from a casual drink to a special occasion dinner. Great cosy, laid back atmosphere, really friendly, dedicated service, delicious food that isn't over complicated. A great selection of wine of course and I love that they play records there.
Dined on Sunday 5th June for pig and pinot. Beautiful meal, excellent wines. Staff were outstanding in customer service. We had a great time and would highly recommend.
Wondering around Ballarat following a self guided ‘ghost tour’ (ghost images of old heritage signage on walls) we stumble upon this really really cool venue. As soon as you walk in you known your are in somewhere special, this place rocks. Great wines and a good menu (although we only had deserts so can’t comment on the meals). Such a cool vibe and one to revisit for sure 💯% 💥.
Good to find perfectly balanced espresso in Ballarat. Excellent service. Checking vaccine certificates. Only ordered coffee, which was perfectly balanced, though the double was a little larger than normal. We just made it before the lunch rush, but even then, seating was still available inside and out.
Great atmosphere, tasty food, the wine is delightful and the staff are lovely
