Smoked brisket bourguignon pie at Hideaway

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 Hideaway is smoked brisket bourguignon pie. The pie's hot water pastry base is filled with a rich, smoked brisket bourguignon, topped with inverted puff pastry and a sprinkle of salt, and served with a tangy relish.

"Within the delicate walls of a refined French pastry lie the untamed, smoky heartbeat of Texas," chefs Trudi Armstrong and Ashleigh Key said. "Our philosophy is simple – find the finest ingredients and master the technique that gives them life and hope to hell it works!" "This is not just a pie – it's tradition, it's innovation, it's a testament to our enduring desire to create something truly unforgettable."
