Farmer s Daughters is set to bring a taste of Gippsland to the city
Melbourne’s CBD is gradually resurrecting as people return to work, but those still dreaming of a minibreak need not fret, because Farmer’s Daughters is bringing Gippsland to the city at its swish new multi-level venue at 80 Collins St.
Executive chef Alejandro Saravia (Pastuso) who owns the venue, and is also the official food and beverage ambassador for Gippsland, has spent four years bringing his vision of a deli, restaurant and bar to life, and now it has opened its doors to the public.
Coming soon: Melbourne s most exciting new hospitality venues to look forward to

Pull out your calendars. Despite 2020 s best efforts, there are some major restaurant openings on the horizon. Here s what we have marked on our dance cards in the coming months.
Karen Martini s Hero
The star chef and Good Food recipe writer is heading up a restaurant and event space that is part of a $40 million upgrade of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. Ahead of the February 11 opening, Martini is plotting (and pickling) the all-day menu offering with Sydney chef Diego Rosales, who will run the show, but the fun is in the wild interactive event spaces, including a private screening room for 30, making interactive cinephilic dining a real thing. The fastidious Chris Connell is responsible for the sleek design.
