Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie competition.
Take your pick from more than 35 savoury and sweet pies at some of the city’s top cafes, restaurants and bakeries.
On the menu at Nolans is the pork, mushroom & vermouth pie.
The pie comes topped with skordalia made from Mount Prospect potatoes and Meredith Dairy feta, and is served with a blackberry and vermouth jus.
"We wanted to create something truly unique that showcases the best of our local region – something that not only tastes amazing but also stands out visually from the traditional pie," chef Konstantin Putkin said.
"Rather than sticking to the classics, we set out to reimagine the typical pie by incorporating bold flavours, unexpected textures and ingredients sourced from local farmers and producers right here in the Ballarat area.
"Our pie tells a story of passion, local pride and a love of pushing culinary boundaries."
Vote and win!
For your chance to win a luxury Ballarat weekend escape for two valued at over $3000, cast your vote for the People’s Choice Pie.
The pie with the most votes will be crowned the winner of this new category in early September.
"Our inspiration came from a desire to break the mould of what a pie is typically expected to be."
