PREVIOUS Hosting Easter lunch or dinner is a huge undertaking – getting the house prepared, organising a menu that suits all your guests, cooking said meal, and then keeping everyone entertained before having to clean up. The desire to escape this hassle often leads folks to book a restaurant instead.
But where to go? For us, Easter doesn’t scream city centre restaurant. Nor should it be spent at a neighbourhood joint you go to all the time. We prefer to escape to a local wine region, celebrating this day looking out over rolling vineyards (perhaps even hitting up a cellar door afterwards).
To help you find and book a brilliant Easter out, we’ve rounded up three brilliant restaurants (all hatted) in the Yarra Valley and King Valley that host a mighty good lunch and dinner. Find them all here.
