Why Travelers Love Farmer's Daughters

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.5 / 5.0(1,779 reviews)

Overall dining experience was good and appreciated the Gippsland farm ingredients. Personally loved the trout and the soda bread. But the portions aren’t much for the set menu, I think an average man would walk out still feeling hungry. They do give you an option of adding another main throughout though but wishing they notified about this at the start of the dining too. The venison was quite chewy and the dessert was a bit disappointing where the chocolate mousse tasted very waxy and the orange flavours were too sweet and overpowering. Good service and atmosphere, gets very busy on a Saturday night, just happy to try once. Had a great time at Farmer's Daughter. Service was very warm and personable and the food was all well prepared. The beetroot salad and the cured fish were a touch acidic, however that's easily fixed. The scallops, dry-aged ribeye, soda bread, and fennel burrata salad were highlights. Nice place to drop by for cocktails and food. My girlfriend and I went here for her birthday. I have dined at many restaurants and Farmer's daughters is now one of my favourites. The flavours were simply sublime! We did the 5 course degustation. Each course was unique and stimulated different taste sensations. It is hard to describe the party that was going on in my mouth. The bread was an absolute standout! The cocktails were also flavourful and delicious. We had some tea at the end to finish the meal and we both enjoyed the chance to sit back and relax at the end of the meal. The wait staff were attentive and were able to give us brief but useful introductions to each course. I would highly recommend this place!

I went here for a business meal. Reservations are a must and if you go on a Sunday there is 10% surcharge. The Sunday surcharge was new for me, but seems to be common in Melbourne with many restaurants closed on Sundays. The staff were super professional and friendly, ensuring we were comfortable and taken care of. The server was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The quality, preparation and presentation of the food was outstanding. This is a high end restaurant and the prices reflect that, but you won't be disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and drinks. I would definitely go back again.

This was our second time back at Farmer's Daughters. The food was just as amazing as our first time — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced in taste and texture. Our hostess, Bridget, made the experience even better with her attentive, considerate, and friendly service. Even on a very busy night, she remained warm and welcoming, and took the time to chat with us about the food (especially the delicious alpine trout and the soda bread!) and our experience. Her genuine care and hospitality made the evening truly memorable. Thanks Bridget and the rest of the Farmer's Daughters team!
