Arguably Ballarat's best breakfast,L'espresso delivers pitch-perfect coffee alongside expertly cooked eggs benedict smothered in a luxurious hollandaise. For a change of pace try sensational creamed Ferron rice with apple,pear and flaked almonds. Lunch and dinner is when the lights go down and the jazz amps up - and prices push the budget. A rich,hearty bolognese sauce coats every strand of al dente linguine,while a smoked trout salad with kipflers,Istra bacon,fried capers,watercress and horseradish dressing is elegant. An intimate fitout means you're rubbing shoulders with fellow diners.
