    Fantastic experience at Melfort! What a find! The young team behind this restaurant are dedicated and wonderful to watch in action. The food is beautifully thought out and presented, the menu is unpretentious, authentic but still inspired and incredibly delicious. Worth the drive out and will be visited again! PS - they also have a children's menu.

    A fantastic Saturday afternoon spent at Melfort. We were warmly received and the food was nothing short of amazing. The staff were attentive, the scenery fantastic and the menu a true representation of farm-to-table excellence. Would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable finer dining experience.
