What the Judges’ said in 2021
Walking into Terroir in Daylesford is a pleasure. The bistro is clean, sharp and contemporary, reflecting a modern take on traditional French eateries. Well designed with an open kitchen and bar/coffee area, there is an inviting yet professional tone.
The food selections on offer are what you would expect in a classic French bistro. Familiar and faithful to the cuisine. The meals are presented in a contemporary style and are fresh and lively, reinforcing the adage: You eat first with your eyes. The Steak Frites were perfectly executed – text-book specifications served with delicious frites – hot and crisp. The foods here are created and served with great care and skill here along with with generous cuts of delicious bread.
The Bistro offers a strong and balanced selection of drinks (including many from France). One third of the list are available by the glass. FOH Manger Martin Fairburn’s recommendations were beautifully paired with the foods.
The prices for both food and drinks are moderate for a quality restaurant and represent good value for money.
Bistro Terroir offers a culinary glimpse of pleasures that will be denied of us for a while. The food is very French – but prepared and served with a contemporary flair and the service is paramount. Paris might be off the agenda for a while but who cares when you have Terrior? – Viva la Daylesford!
