Puffing Billy Train in Melbourne Australia
Puffing Billy Train in Melbourne Australia
 With a focus on modern Argentinian cuisine, it is obvious that a theology of ‘food should be shared’ drives the menu.  If you can, you want to order the Seis Pasos.  This is a six step menu that is designed by the chef and brought to your table for your enjoyment. 
You will be surprised at the generosity of this menu option, the courses are so very tasty and it is a feast for the tastebuds and the soul.

The Independent Gembrook has become a firm favourite here at Yarra Valley Life.  It is hard not to head back on a weekly basis.  With the drive out being just as beautiful as the venue it is a day trip I happily make (Warning: If you are as view obsessed as me, you will need someone else to do the driving.  Make sure you take the scenic route of Healesville Koo Wee Rup Rd).  A family outing to The Independent can be enjoyed by the children also; while you dine they can play – with the courtyard offering a cubby house (complete with kitchen).  After lunch a play at J.A.C Russell Park can be followed by a Puffing Billy ride home. Perfect.

The first thing you will notice upon entering the understated frontage of the building is a Bromely and Co painting.  It depicts a father and son, instantly suggesting families are welcome.  In fact the painting is of Robert Gordon and his father.  The Gordon family and Chef Mauro have come together to design a space that is inviting and exciting.
