Underbar

Top choice in Victoria


The current darling of the Goldfields food scene, this intimate, minimalist 12 seater only opens for a handful of seatings – and it's booked out for months. Chef Derek Boath (formerly of New York's Michelin-starred Per Se) takes you through his degustation works of art, comprising cutting-edge fare that's all locally sourced or foraged.

You're seated at a communal table, so it's perhaps not the best choice for a romantic night out.
