La Trattoria Cafe - Daylesford, Melbourne

La Trattoria Cafe can be found inside Lavandula, a Swiss Italian Farm. The cafe provides a lovely environment for diners as lavender fields are aplenty and well in the vicinity of the cafe.

Lavender Scones AUD$7.50

The scones here are awesome. You'll find bits of lavender in the scone, providing it with that extra bit of flavour and sweet scent. The texture of the scones are also perfect, neither too cake-like nor too bread-like. The scones go well with the homemade cream and jam, but they're just as good without!

Asparagus, Spinach, Pinenut and Chevre Goat Cheese Risotto AUD$18.50 This healthy dish oozes of goodness. The risotto is creamy yet there is added texture from the pinenuts, spinach and asparagus, giving each mouthful a nice bite to it. A refreshing change from the usual risottos we get. (:
Organic Duck Maryland AUD$27
The duck is layed atop a field mushroom and served with roasted potatoes and wedges of blood orange. Complementing the duck is a brandy sauce that completes the dish nicely.
