The Empyre Cafe

Contemporary$$

Focusing on simple lunches, this bistro makes the most of its setting in one of Castlemaine’s most prominent and beautiful gold rush-era hotels. A tasting plate might combine sweet roasted onion dip, charred peppers, gravlax and gently spiced veal meatballs in sugo. A bursting burger with the lot is as juicy and indulgent as you’d want.
