"is a spectacular spin-off by Frank Fawkner, head chef at EXP. Restaurant. The best time to visit this #fawkingawesome bakery is for breakfast: order the delectable sourdough topped with barbecue-glazed thick-cut belly bacon and free-range eggs. If you’re feeling really indulgent, try the oven-baked pancakes with caramelised apple, Chantilly cream, macadamia crumb and maple syrup with a piccolo on the side."

"For a cafe to stand out in the Hunter Valley it has to be doing something right. Cafe Enzo does a lot of things right. The breakfast boards here are worthy of applause from the good-natured crowds who converge here over coffee and cake around communal tables. Set in Peppers Creek Village in the heart of the Hunter, the menu at the frantically busy cafe highlights all that is wonderful at the local markets."

"Wend your way south for about 20 clicks to find Bistro Molines, which overlooks a terraced hillside of rose-lined vines belonging to Tallavera Grove Vineyard. Robert Molines is a French transplant, having moved here in 1973. Over the years, he has earnt the bistro a critical mass of recognition and the rustic-chic restaurant remains as charming as ever. Working alongside Molines is head chef Garreth Robbs whose style of cooking helped the restaurant retain a hat in the 2018 and 2019 Good Food Guide. Expect highly seasonal dishes such as a ballotine of Little Hill Farm chicken, medley of mushrooms and gnocchi with truffle butter or a bowl of mussels mariniere with a hint of chilli."

"Walking into the intimate EXP. Restaurant dining room at Oakvale Winery feels like going to a friend’s house for dinner. Whether you sit at the bar watching chef Frank Fawkner (ex-head chef at Muse) plate up at the pass or in the restaurant surrounded by handcrafted furniture and local art, you should expect a bit of pre-dinner theatre. The menu changes frequently as Fawkner’s focus is on seasonal dishes such as Warroo kangaroo, pumpkin, macadamia and saltbush. Fawkner also has a side hustle, selling small-batch black garlic under the Fawk Foods umbrella."

"According to local legend, Yellow Billy was a local bush ranger who raided and plundered around the Broke and Pokolbin region during the 1860s. Yellow Billy (a.k.a. William White) was also a forager who lived off the land so it only seems right to light a fire in his honour at Yellow Billy Restaurant: the custom-made fire pit here is used daily to cook proteins and vegetables"
