  1. Magpies Nest

    Modern Australian

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    A converted stone stable from the 1860s tucked among Riverina vines is doing serious work as a Modern Australian set-menu restaurant. The kitchen leans into bold pairings, char siu honey on duck, coconut labneh on pork, without making a fuss about it. On a warm evening the alfresco terrace with a cold glass of something local is hard to argue with. It holds an Australian Good Food Guide Chef Hat.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
