If Melbourne fine dining has a beating green heart, you’ll find it in Beaconsfield. O.MY isn’t just another regional restaurant trying to play city dress-ups; it’s the real deal. Brothers Blayne and Chayse Bertoncello have turned a former butcher’s shop into one of Victoria’s most talked-about dining rooms, powered by their own 2.5-acre farm in nearby Cardinia. Nearly everything you eat—veg, fruit, eggs, honey—comes from their soil. Seafood arrives via the Good Fish Project, meat and dairy via Gippsland’s small producers. What you get on the plate is a living, breathing conversation between farmer, chef, and season. One day it’s artichokes and beets pulled that morning, the next it’s pickled plums and dehydrated zucchini from six months ago. Minimal waste, maximum flavour, and a wine list curated by a Sommelier of the Year. It’s not just dinner, it’s O.MY.

The BioHax Take
This is farm-to-table dining without the preachy TED Talk. O.MY is intimate (just 27 seats), obsessive about produce (400 garden beds, berry patches, 50 fruit trees, beehives), and refreshingly cheeky in its delivery. Blayne runs the kitchen, Chayse works the floor and pours the wine, and together they’ve created a restaurant that’s earned chef’s hats and cult-status without losing its dirt-under-the-fingernails soul.
