Bendigo has a new eatery! Masons was positively buzzing- even as someone who has never lived in Bendigo I am aware of how desperately the local dining scene has needed a spot like this for years.
The service was almost flawless, prices fair and the food was outstanding. We started with fried chicken ribs (something akin to KFC yet strangely delicious), Harvey Bay scollops with Skipton Eel and a creamy sauce (almost as good as the jamon scollops I have dreamed about every night since first visiting Movida years ago).
For our 'bigger' dishes we ate beef cheeks with celeriac mash and octopus with chorizo (pictured) and a salad. Presentation wise, the octopus looked a bit busy on the plate but worked well- the beef cheek was probably the winner of the day. Slow cooked, rich, balanced, exquisite.
Highly recommended.
