St Isidore Restaurant, awarded a ‘Star’

St Isidore’s restaurant in rural Milton NSW was one of five NSW Regional restaurants to be awarded a star in the recent Gourmet Traveller, 2016 Australian Restaurant Guide .

The restaurant is owned and operated by Jo and Alex Delly. Tasters for the magazine snuck into the Milton restaurant back in April to sample the food without the knowledge of the owners. Their dedication to exploring the best local produce certainly impressed the judges.

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide.

The SMH ‘Good Food’ Guide awarded St Isidore’s restaurant a ‘Hat’ the following week for their exceptional foods using local produce.

‘Time Out’ Weekend Planner article:

The recent ‘Time Out’ planner wrote: A nice option for lunch is St Isidore just outside Milton. Again, this place is all about locality, with ingredients grown in their stunning gardens (take a wander through after your meal). Heat yourself up from the inside out with the crisp, melting confit duck leg. And the warm chocolate tart with roasted peanut ice cream will have you moving down here in a shot, it’s that amazing.
