Dine in vintage splendour at The Farmers Arms Hotel on Albert Street in Creswick. Standing alone on the corner, this historic hotel was built during the gold rush era and although now remodelled, still retains the character of bygone times with exposed brick and antique lighting, setting a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. Take a seat in the dining room with leather furniture and flowers on every table, and contemplate a Mod Oz menu boasting starters such as chicken liver parfait, pickles and pork crackle, or bocconcini and saffron arancini balls with rocket pesto. Tantalise the tastebuds by delving into mains like beef short rib with confit shallots, green beans, Paris mash and jus, before a sweet finish such as blood orange, rhubarb jelly and lemon curd trifle with coconut sponge.
