WOW …… yes this is located in the wine country 90 minutes from the city, but don’t let that stop you making the effort. Firstly, the immediate countryside and the wine country is beautiful and worth the trip alone.
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, this...restaurant will blow your mind. I’m very lucky that I have spent a lot of my adult life travelling the world and particularly in the last 10–15 years with my partner I have visited a lot of beautiful luxurious places and had some fantastic food at fantastic restaurants.
I can genuinely say that this restaurant is up with the best that I’ve ever eaten in, and may even be the best. However, to make that evaluation, I’d have to think harder then is necessary! 😀
This is, of course about the food, but before I talk about the food, I need to say that the setting is amazing, the ambience of the restaurant is first class and the staff are all of the highest quality.
Now the food! It is fair to say that this is not inexpensive, but once you’ve eaten the set menu, you will not be anything but happy that you decided to embark on what is the most colourful, beautifully presented and fantastic food you might ever eat. Each course added a new dimension and at the end of it when we discussed which we liked most. my partner would’ve been taken back when I said the salad which was the most fantastic salad both in taste and visual effect I’ve ever had. That said, every individual course was of the highest quality, presented in different crockery/cutlery and all looking spectacular (make your own choice from the photographs).
To visit again will require effort due to the distance from the city, and the fact that I actually come from the UK, so it’s a long way away to start with. That said I have little doubt that we will make the effort and return to the region and the restaurant. The next time we are in Melbourne.
Finally anyone reading this review, don’t stop to think, book the restaurants, make the effort to get there and message me back if you disagree with anything I have posted.More
