How we read reviews →House of Fras is Sassafras' hills dining standout for wood-fired pizza and steak night.
Warm, art-lined dining room in the Dandenong Ranges. sophisticated small plates and a tasting menu without feeling stuffy, though the compact space and 1.5-hour table limit can make it feel rushed when busy.
Wood-fired oven, a locally focused wine list built around small-scale producers, and a chef's tasting menu alongside the a la carte.
Modern Australian technique across the menu rather than a single cultural lineage, with wood-fired Italian-style pizza sitting alongside a British-style Sunday roast.
Not the cheapest option in the hills, but reviewers consistently call it good value for the quality and portion sizes, especially the $36-plus steak night cuts.
