Muse sits in the grounds of Hungerford Hill on Broke Road and has held two chef's hats in the Good Food Guide since 2015. Troy Rhoades-Brown opened it at 24 and still cooks here, and much of what reaches the plate comes out of his own garden, twenty years of raised beds, a greenhouse and a citrus orchard worked on living soil. It is contemporary Australian fine dining rather than a casual lunch.
Dinner runs Wednesday to Saturday and lunch on Saturday, a single set six-course menu at $185 a head, with extra dishes and beverage pairings offered alongside. The kitchen asks you to allow two and a half to three and a half hours, and there is no BYO. A private dining room seats up to twenty and exclusive hire takes a hundred; children are not recommended, so plan it as an adults' occasion.
