Heartswood is the first venue for Matt Binney and partner Bianca. Situated in the old Colonial Bank building in Yarra Glen, the desire was to create something relaxed yet refined for the local community. Formerly the Head Chef at Merricote (now closed) in Northcote, Matt seeks to create a venue that embraces the exceptional produce of the Yarra Valley. “We want Heartswood to feel like you’re at a friend’s place, albeit one that has great coffee, booze and is handy in the kitchen” The ethos is simple; it has to be delicious. With a focus on refined, upmarket brunch during the day with coffee by Dukes Coffee Roasters. The kitchen will work closely with local producers to highlight the wonderful ingredients the Yarra Valley has to offer. On Friday and Saturday from afternoon onwards, the focus will shift to refined bistro with a concise menu offering snacks through to larger dishes and sweets. “We want the evenings to be fun and engaging with a great beverage list and warm, knowledgeable

Good food, however service was friendly but not quite on point. We had to ask for coffee etc when others joined our table. Only went for brunch and would go back for dinner.

Fantastic brunch (Avo and Corn Fritter) and soy latte. Very efficient, friendly service. A moment of tranquility amid the current madness.

This review was triggered by last week-ends take away treat during lockdown. We moved into the area in October 200. Previously, we had visited this location quite a few times when it was Hargreaves. Our first experience of Heartswood was as we were moving in during the first big lockdown and organised some amazing take away. Heartswood provides a different menu reflecting a 'national cuisine' every week. Now, this could come across as gimmicky and would be difficult to pull off well. However, the chefs at Heartswood pull this off amazingly. We've had take away (regulary during lockdown) and sit down, as well. Some of our 'city folk' friends joined us and were amazed. Every meal we've had has been a hit. The food is fresh, and tastes amazing. Staff are friendly and efficient. We're looking forward to many more meals.

Not normally open on Mondays, Matt went to the effort to open especially for our post-wedding lunch. Nothing was too hard. More tables, more chairs, more high chairs, cleverly split bills. We didn't get a single 'no' all day. Couple that with spectacular food (Israeli menu was delicious), excellent cocktails and wines and brilliant friendly wait staff and we had a truly memorable event. Big thanks to the whole team there and can't recommend enough. 🙏👍👌

We had a great family breakfast after hot air ballooning. They didn’t have milkshakes on the menu for the kids, but allowed us to get them from across the road. The kids had a breakfast they had never eaten before and loved it! Would definitely recommend 😊
