Lovely experience staff contributed to the experience. Very much enjoyed the experience. My wife doesn’t normally enjoy Japanese both she was pleasantly surprised.

We had the worst and most embarrassing experience at Provenance Restaurant. Will never be going back! We were tourists in Beechworth for the weekend and asked the manager at accommodation, for suggestions of bistro type meals in town. The first three suggestions were booked out...due to Covid restrictions being lifted. The 4th was Provenance. We were able to have an 8pm booking. Unfortunately, Michael who took our booking, failed to mention, that this was a degustation menu, and only thst it was Japanese influenced menu ehen I asked. We were seated and given a menu by a lovely waitress. We asked if there was an a la carte menu, as the menu had minimal dishes on it. 150 was at the top of the menu, no follar sign. We asked the waitress if thus was a tariff. And she confirmed thst it was $150 per person. We told her that we had been misled, and that we would have to leave. I asked her if we would be charged anything, and she stated that we would not be charged. We left the restaurant, and were able go get a late booking there, and had a lovely meal. Decor wasn't wonderful, but food and service were good. Two days later, I checked my card account, and to my amazement, $300 had been deducted by Provenance. So, not only the charge from Provenance, but also the cost of a Chinese meal! I spoke with Michael by phone asking why we had been charged, and why he couldn't have explained that this restaurant only provided a degudtstion menu. He stated that he didn't have to tell me that, and why would he??? He was quite rude. This matter is now in the hands of the banks, but if I fail to receive the full amount back, I will be taking the matter to The Ombudsman. My son is an Executive Chef in ine of Melbourne's best known restaurants and he said this gives restaurants a really bad name, and is totally unethical. He has spoken to several other Executive Chefs, and all are appalled at what has happened!More

We have not experienced this anywhere in the world. Each course was a masterpiece of both visual and taste expression. Now each plate was quite small but the tastes were extraordinary. In our memory was the tofu dish - never been impressed with this substance...before. We were dumbfounded. Expensive yes, but this was like visiting a food art gallery!More
