Just 30 steps from the Summit Chairlift you’ll find this smart all-day casual diner fitted out with local native timber from the Mount Beauty mill. Soft banquettes, freestanding bare timber, compressed bamboo tables and one large communal table all look out onto the Village Bowl. Shortly after dawn the espresso machine starts punching out its first Proud Mary coffee for the day while the kitchen delivers a plate of meaty mushrooms and whipped feta or perhaps a hot cast iron skillet, straight from the oven, of sizzling eggs cooked with chorizo, red capsicum, sweet caramelised onion and olives.
The focus on healthy food sees hundreds of serves of sweet potato fries cooked in coconut oil with a side of aioli sent out each day. Dinner might start with a spatchcocked quail, chargrilled, with puy lentils and pickled grapes, followed by a main of applewood smoked ocean trout with sharp and tangy cucumber and rich, nutty kipfler potatoes. The extensive menu offers a good range of vego options. There is ice-cold Bridge Road Beer poured fresh from the keg and a handy mostly organic foodstore behind the dining area. www.facebook.com/2befoodstore/
