Bringing a touch of class and Mediterranean flair to the Western Freeway is Ballarat Provedore, offering commuters and tourists to rural Victoria much more than just a quick pit-stop. Charming and earthy inside, this spacious venue is furnished with rustic timber tables and a handful of armchairs arranged around a fireplace, accommodating those seeking a cosy retreat on cold days as a stream of mouth-watering aromas escapes a wood fired oven. Take a moment to revive, sipping a richly flavoured coffee and enjoy a breakfast selection like ricotta berry crumpets topped with honey and cinnamon. Those visiting at dusk are spoiled for choice with gourmet wood fired pizzas, perhaps topped with pears, blue cheese, ‘Istra’ prosciutto, rocket and pine nuts or mains like twice cooked pork belly.
