Innocent Bystander
It was a warm and sunny day so we decided to take a leisurely
drive to the Yarra Valley. We ended up in Healesville and thought we would have
lunch at the Innocent Bystander. We didn’t make a booking but you probably
should if you want to sit out on the balcony. Booking can easily be made online
via their website. Although the place was bustling, we had no problems getting
a table inside without a booking. Of course I had to order my favourite tipple,
a glass of the famous Innocent Bystander Moscato ($7.00).
The lovely pink blush of the moscato comes from the skins
of black muscat grapes. My friend also chose the moscato whilst the guys sampled
a selection of beers including some White Rabbit ale as their brewery is
located next door. We decided to share two pizzas between the four of us. We
went with the ‘Roast mushroom, provolone, black truffle oil, garlic, and
parsley ($25.00)’ pizza and the ‘Australian prawn cutlet, san marzano tomato,
lemon, chilli garlic, barrel aged feta & sorrel ($25.00)’ pizza.

Both of the wood-fired pizzas had a slightly charred, thin
base and were utterly delicious! My favourite out of the two would have to be
the mushroom pizza but it packs a serious punch of garlic so perhaps no kissing
in the near future... The prawn pizza was also great with the lovely addition
of sorrel. The food took quite awhile to arrive but the service was friendly
and efficient. We didn’t have any coffees today but a latte at the Innocent
Bystander is $4.00. I absolutely loved our time at the Innocent Bystander and it
is a fantastic way to spend your weekend.
