Away for a country weekend of lovely food, family and gardens, we called in to the Food Gallery at Daylesford, owned and run by Toni, where I had a most glorious salad of chicken and avocado with pine nuts. My family ordered her warm lamb salad and the pumpkin soup with hot buttered soup, both of which were also very good
Toni's restaurant is stylish, sophisticated and warmly family-friendly, with wonderful, eclectic furnishings and decoration, hung with huge mirrors to reflect the light and warmth of this lovely eatery.
Iced coffee & chai latte kept us happy as our order was prepared, arriving shortly afterwards; pipping hot pumpkin soup with warm toast and our warm lamb salad and my chicken and avocado salad with pine nuts.

Toni's display shelves of both savoury and sweet foods were both stunning and compelling and just look what we espied in the dessert cabinet - salted caramel eclairs with other gorgeous flavours to drool over...!

| Eclairs of Salted Caramel, Pistachio Nut, Passionfruit Butter, Belgian Chocolate and Berry Blossom...! |
 |
| Salted Caramel Brownie Bars |
 |
| Orange & Almond Babycakes |
 |
| Marz Mini's |

and here's Toni with her assistant chef in their amazingly compact small kitchen, where they produce all the wonderful food for Toni's restaurant; it must all be down to brilliant organisation and hard work, coupled with a great love of good food, wonderful eating and contented diners.
We all enjoyed Toni's fabulous food, her glorious restaurant and the wonderful atmosphere at the Food Gallery of stylish Daylesford. The only question to be addressed now is, when shall we make our return visit to enjoy Toni's restauramt???
Being on a mission to sample as many salted caramel desserts as possible, I am happy to tell you that Toni's eclair was totally scrumptious and extremely more-ish...!
We really will be back for more of Toni's good food just as soon as possible.
