Food Scene

Lots of great food options in the area, especially spring-fall. Some of the farther places are definitely worth the trip!
Great restaurant about 30 mins away. Menu is seasonal but mainstays of honey almond roasted carrots and pork schnitzel are amazing. Currently doing take out BBQ on Thursdays (orders taken from Tues onwards) and some special food events. Limited outside seating available.

Amazing smoked & cured meats! Only open weekend daytime hours. Best brisket, bacon, pates, sausages & salamis around. Locally foraged mushrooms & seasonal goodies. Delicious tastings and weekly specials. They take pre-orders online, so worth checking out their specials on Instagram ahead of time (@solinksys_meats)
