Provenance Restaurant Provenance Restaurant

Provenance Restaurant is located in the old Bank of Australasia, built in 1856 at the height of the gold rush.

The dining rooms still display the grandness of that era with 6m ceilings, ornate rosettes and original arched windows. The vault, built with thick granite blocks, now houses the wine cellar.

Dine in the grand old rooms of the bank, or in the warmer months enjoy al fresco dining in the courtyard under the apple tree.

Provenance Restaurant is now the home of Michael Ryan, the chef and previous owner of Range, a two chef hat restaurant located in Myrtleford. In December 2008 Michael and his partner Jeanette Henderson sold Range to the owner of the motel to which the restaurant was attached and relocated to take up residence in what was once The Bank Restaurant and Mews in Beechworth.

Ryan's approach to food is best described as regional contemporary; contemporary in terms of design and textures and regional with an emphasis on local and seasonal produce of the highest quality. This produces menus of originality without losing site of traditional foundations.

Michael's food first received attention at Milawa Cheese Factory where he was awarded one chef's hat in the Age Good Food Guide. Michael then worked at Wardens in Beechworth for their first year of operation. Michael left Wardens to set up Range restaurant in Myrtleford with his partner Jeanette Henderson.

Michael and Jeanette operated Range for three years in which time Range received many awards and accolades. It was awarded one hat in its first year of operation and then two hats in 2008 and 2009 AGFGs respectively. The restaurant was the Age Good Food Guide Country Restaurant of the Year in 2008.
