Open seven days for lunch and dinner, Stix and Stones of Lower Plenty, Melbourne, is a fabulous dining destination. The restored homestead is set on sprawling grounds, abloom with native flora, and the kitchen in the Main House offers up something for everyone in the family. Delicious woodfired pizzas, smoked briskets, smoky pork ribs, woodfired pizzas, pastas and substantial salads: fresh food and lovely service you won't want to leave here in a hurry. Parents can settle into the eclectic colonial-style dining room or dine alfresco while the little people run free around the grounds. There is a pleasing selection of wines by the glass '“ or bottle if settling in for a little longer - as well as local tap and bottle beers. A visit to Stix and Stones makes for a pretty lovely dining out experience.
