Age Good Food Guide gong for Provenance
Beechworth’s new kid on the gastronomic block, Provenance, has been named Best New Country Restaurant of the Year by The Age Good Food Guide 2010.
Michael Ryan, the mastermind behind The Age 2008 Country Restaurant of the Year, the two chef hat Range restaurant in Myrtleford, opened Provenance Restaurant & Luxury Suites early this year in one of Beechworth’s finest historic gold era buildings, the 1856 Bank of Australasia next to the Historic and Cultural Precinct. With six metre ceilings and towering arched windows, the bank’s original granite vault now houses the wine cellar. Accommodation at Provenance comprises four newly refurbished luxury suites in what was once the old stables and carriage house.
The prestigious Age Good Food Guide accolade, announced in Melbourne last night, further reinforces Beechworth’s reputation as a gourmet travel destination. The impressive line-up of local dining options also includes the renowned and much awarded Warden’s Food & Wine, Gigi’s, and The Stanley in the picturesque hilltop village of Stanley a few kilometres out of town.
Add to that list the award-winning boutique brewery, Bridge Road Brewers whose owners Ben and Maria Kraus offer a great range of hand-crafted ales as well as sensational home-made pretzels and gourmet pizzas.
Also new to Beechworth this year is the boutique fromagerie, Larder, whose new owners, Jade Miles and Gina Bladon have added a chocalaterie showcasing superb locally made Renaissance Chocolates from Rutherglen as well as Kennedy & Wilson from the Yarra Valley. The pair is passionate about bringing the best of local, regional and international cheese and chocolate to the area and offer a gourmet hamper selection for visitors heading for the great outdoors.
