Food scene

I can’t rave about this place enough. American BBQ style briskets, southern style chicken & brilliant service. You will leave feeling like one of the locals.

Another one of Malmsbury’s local gems. Whether it’s an Elm Cottage staple Cottage or fruit loaf, or one of their delicious pies, you won’t be disappointed. I know it’s blasphemy this time of year, but their hot cross buns are to die for.

These guys do a great late brekky. Quite a small venue, but just perfect for couples.

Fairly new on the Malmsbury scene, this little gem is breaking the mould. With dishes drawing from local produce and seasonal offerings, it’s super sweet and a great way to start the day. Breakfast finishes at 11 though, so don’t plan on sleeping in too long or you will miss out on some delish village morsels.

A funky, fun place to grab a unique, American style burger. A great selection of hot sauces too if you’re game.

An easy walk amongst tall eucalypts and particularly beautiful during the Winter months when there is snowfall. Unfortunately this area has suffered significant damage in recent storms, so worth checking online whether its open before you head off. Roads to ‘The Mount’ tend to close in high wind conditions due to falling trees.

Retail musts

The most amazing childrens bookstore you will find anywhere. Beautiful quality books and a dedicated team of bookstore angels who clearly love what they do too.
This precinct is AMAZING! Artisans, furniture & winemakers, homemade icecreams, beautiful Oakwood smoked goods & the most devine vintage precinct. You will need a day here to explore.

This definitely gets my vote for all of your local produce & a stunning assortment of delicious cheeses. A little more expensive than Wollies, but their quality and selection is a cut above

An old school butcher, opposite Woolies & next to Bakers Delight in Kyneton. A great selection of fancy snags, unless you’re a vegetarian, then avoid this place too.
