Crispy Chicken Benedict: spiced chicken, caramelised onion, poached egg and sriracha hollandaise.

Fresh and modern, The Virgin Kitchen on Main Road in Daylesford marries cultures and unites taste buds. By day this contemporary and vibrant dining destination is the place to hang out alfresco in cane chairs and take in the beautiful gardens while perusing a laidback café-style menu; at night it transforms into a stylish restaurant with sparkling glassware, potted palms and moody lighting, ideal for romantic rendezvous. Start your day the right way with crispy potato hash, scrambled eggs, Hollandaise and local truffle; while the lunch crowd enjoys handmade ricotta gnocchi, local mushroom ragu and shaved Parmesan. Tuna carpaccio, preserved lemon, onion, parsley and fried capers is the ideal start to an evening meal, followed by crispy skin salmon, beetroot, freekeh and salsa verde.
