The Convent - DAYLESFORD

Nice hidden cafe in the middle of a small botanical garden. Food was good. Soup of the day was spicy pumpkin soup. The curry flavour/spice was overpowering, couldn’t really taste pumpkin. The salad accompanying the fish had a beautiful dressing on it, unlike other places that just dump some leaves on the side. There are public toilets around the corner to the side of Wombat Hill house. Their ‘outdoor’ area is covered/sheltered there are heaters, so you don’t get cold at all.

Lovely enclosed outside area with a separate entrance for dogs. The seating outside is eclectic so not always the most comfortable but it adds to the garden aesthetic.

One of the best brunch/lunch spots in Victoria. The atmosphere here is really nice. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, whatever you prefer. Outdoor might get hot in the summer, as it's a bit of a glasshouse, but during the chilly morning I visited, it was perfect within. The breakfast pizza is incredible. Grab some food and a coffee and have a look around the gardens for a really nice experience.

Our friends recommended this place and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, not to mention the beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. Shout out to the lovely staff member who gave me an extra donut for my birthday! Would definitely return.

The environment is also comfortable, surrounded by plants, and the portion is good and the taste is good, but some foods are paired with too many carbohydrates and a little less protein.
