We started with a wine tasting at Ekhidna wines, it has a buzz of a pub with lovely waitresses and a charming wine maker. The place is popular and without a reservation, you will struggle to get a table. Food wise this is not high end nor is it edgy. The food I rate as decent, a nice chicken liver... More

Lemon Myrtle Kangaroo was like nothing I'd tasted before. Nor the scallops. Beautiful warm and intimate spot for a stormy winter night. And you could talk... More

We made our 5th trip to Echidna with friends last Sunday and were pleased to find that the great service, atmosphere and the delicious and varied menu were still the hallmarks of this great McLaren Vale dining experience. From the wine tastings as you arrived to the yummy deserts and coffee at the end it never disappoints. The quality of... More

Amazing menu selection to suit the most discerning palate. Couldn't get past the in house ginger beer and the chocolate beetroot chili cake. A definite must stop when you're in the region.
