Full Time Chef

We are an ever evolving and growing business with a true passion for hospitality, looking to expand our dedicated and loyal team

Named for the Owner/Executive Chef's grandparents, Frank & Connie's Kitchen has garnered a strong local community and tourist following in the busy Daylesford restaurant scene. We are a small venue with a homely, nostalgic feel with a punchy and local produce driven blackboard menu. Owned and run by an experienced hospitality couple, we put a lot of love into our venues and aim for our guests and staff to feel the same.

Frank & Connie's Kitchen is also the big sibling to our second venture, Harry's Hepburn. Opening in March 2020, Harry's is the complimentary cafe/casual diner to our restaurant; and being located just 200m down the road, allows us to broaden our offering to our guests.
