Amusing Aussie fare

Awarded top spot for best restaurant in Australia in the 2016 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards, two-chef-hatted Muse Restaurant in Pokolbin is the creation of husband and wife team Troy and Megan Rhoades-Brown who wanted to offer a complete and memorable dining experience in the beautiful Hunter Valley. Since opening in 2009 within the grounds of Hungerford Hill Winery, Muse has gone on to become one of Australia’s finest regional restaurants, thanks to its seasonally-driven contemporary Australian menu and exceptional service. Using quality produce sourced locally whenever possible and applying technique and respect during preparation, results in dishes that are fresh and uncomplicated, yet inspired and exciting. À la carte and six-course tasting menus are available for lunch, and a four-course degustation for dinner, with optional wine matching and cheese course available. musedining.com.au
