How we read reviews →Eight seats, twelve courses, one couple. Hurstbridge's unmissable degustation destination.
An intimate cottage-scale dining room seating just eight guests per sitting. Vinyl records play while chef Zoe works in an open kitchen directly beside the tables. The atmosphere is warm, unhurried, and genuinely personal. closer to an exceptional dinner party than a restaurant service. Lachlan runs front-of-house with relaxed attentiveness.
Tiny eight-seat capacity means every booking is effectively private dining. Chef Zoe prepares all twelve courses solo. Matched wine and house-made non-alcoholic pairings available, with Coravin access for premium bottles. Only four sittings per week (Thu, Fri, Sat). Seasonal and hyper-local produce sourcing with suppliers named during service.
Deeply rooted in the Yarra Valley and Hurstbridge produce ecosystem. wallaby, locally foraged fungi, regional seafood, and seasonal vegetables anchor every menu. An authentically Australian degustation in the truest sense.
Premium pricing for a twelve-course degustation with matched wine. several reviewers describe it as expensive but unequivocally worth it. The effort, skill, and produce quality command the price. One of the best-value fine-dining experiences in Melbourne relative to the calibre of food and produce.
