I've been visiting Bright every Easter since I was three and one (read several) visits (a day) to…read moreLe Blanche ice creamery (or to us local folk the ice cream shop) is a must. Around this very busy time at Bright there are generally a few curious beings scouting the front of the shop by opening time at 10:00 am and opening hours extend past 8:00 pm over the Easter period. The staff place fridge magnets of the chosen 40 flavours out the front of the shop which changes as they finish each tub, the aim is to get in there when you see your flavours posted as they won't be there for long. Consequently constant walk pasts are necessary and boy partner has been seen to mutter 'going in' about 5 minutes post eggs and bacon when his unusual flavour combination of lemon and caramel appeared for the first time in our trip at 10:30 am. The rest of the fridge magnets sit behind the counter and they staff are very forthcoming with times and dates of the appearance of your greatest hits. My personal favourites are apple pie - with real crushed apple pie smashed into their homemade icecream, pecan pie - ditto, cookie dough and pavlova. While I opt for the heavier options laded with cream and kj, Le Blanche specialise in beautiful fruity sorbets, all homemade on site. Banana, every berry you can imagine, pineapple and lemon are some of our family's favourites. Their ice cream is very different to that you would find in an Italian gelati store, that smooth creamy texture is punctuated with offerings of fruit, biscuit, nuts and it's spectacular - perfect Australian ice cream treats.

Apparently these guys are so popular that they close for the whole of winter, I myself was not a…read morehuge fan. The place probably needs a makeover as it was not so appealing from the outside. The line was hard to navigate, and you felt like you were in some extremely well lit nightclub bar.... Once I did order, I decided for an ice coffee which had very little coffee in it, fairly good vanilla ice cream and some weird sauce on top. It was $4 and came in a party sized cup which was hardly generous. This place must though have some hidden flavours of ice cream which are amazing because they are quite popular. My friend went for chocolate (1st scoop) + cookies and cream (2nd scoop). Chocolate was nice, but not amazing... Maybe I am spoilt for choc ice cream in Melbourne and Cookies and Cream was horrible.... No where near the standards for cookies and cream

Best scones. Loads of ham and big pots of cream. No skimping here! Jams are all made in house by…read morethe amazing Tanja who owns and runs the place. What I liked most was that when ordering tea, it comes with the full service. A beautiful tea cup, leaf tea in a porcelain pot, tea stained and another pot of hot water so you can top up your brew. One of the few places that does it right. Oh and the coffee is great too, as are the Reubin sandwiches. Simply yum.
