Genuine garden-to-plate experience.
Few menus feature a note from a dedicated kitchen gardener rejoicing in the romance of winer pruning. But few restaurants operate like this one, where you can play “match the produce to the plate” as you stroll through the garden. Here are the Brussels sprouts you forked from a verdant knoll of chilli-spiked pumpkin seed cream; there are the charred carrots that added bite to shell-shaped conchiglie.
Children tumble on the lawn in front of the restaurant, which overlooks an undulating sculpture garden and vines that provide some of the grapes in the affordable house wine pairing. But you’re likely to find something more memorable on the special by-the-glass list, whether from Burgundy or Beechworth.
Pace yourself ahead of wood-smoked beef rump cap, its rendered fat balanced by the pepperiness of romesco, but say “yes” to the dash of rum offered alongside steamed ginger pudding with cooling peach-pit ice-cream.
Life is something to celebrate. We look forward to helping you create lasting memories of those special occasions.
