    A contemporary dining experience awaits you in this 1864 rustic timber building lovingly restored with polished floor boards, high ceilings, an open kitchen and a soothing country ambience. You could be seated by a cozy fire place during the cooler months or dine alfresco under the heritage listed trees in the summer enjoying a glass of wine or refreshing iced tea. A menu of modern Australian cuisine inspired by an abundance of fresh central Victorian produce is carefully prepared by the chef and owner Richard Mee, producing sophisticated dishes to suit the most discerning of palates. The service is professional and friendly and dietary requirements are understandingly catered for. The wine list is regionally expressive, infused with international and national selections to enhance the flavour spectrum of our menu.

      Mercato provided a wonderful variety of tastesand textures in the exquisite fresh food for all courses. Adjusting the menu to accommodate my gluten free needs was no problem and the service was prompt and friendly. Mercato is a wonderful find for a special romantic dinner or for anyone wishing to sample the fresh produce of the Daylesford region. We look forward to a return visit.   (July, 2009)
