"A farm-to-fork philosophy rules at Circa 1876, the rustic-romantic restaurant at the Convent Hunter Valley Hotel; the prettily plated Modern Australian menu draws on goodies from the organic kitchen garden, which Executive chef Trent Barrett helps to tend (he's even the resident beekeeper). You can opt for a two- or three-course meal, or go whole hog with a five- or seven-course tasting menu—but whatever you do, make sure the crispy skin jumbo quail or cherry-glazed duck breast lands in front of you." - Sophie Davies
