  • Great for fine wines

  • Good for special occasions
Our beliefs are simple - in a world full of so much terrific food and wine, why settle for a slab of quiche and a glass of boring plonk? Our food is innovative, fresh and tasty... and available at all hours. The wine list speaks for itself - "Legendary for its iconoclastic notes. It doesn"t necessarily tell you what the wine tastes like - you have to make your mind up. It's there to provoke interest", says Harpers, the wine trade magazine. As Barossa wine making supremo John Glaetzer puts it so succinctly, "Don, this is not just a wine list - it's a book". And a readable one at that!

    A quiet Sunday evening, relaxing French “musette” music playing, no rush, lovely food and wine and attentive service. Much enjoyed.

    Been here a few times and it’s always a fantastic experience. In an area of tourist traps, this is a true gem. The wine list is extensive and the staff are very knowledgeable. The food is delicious and the cheese board never disappoints Recommend ++

    What a gem. 25 years since I last went here and it has not changed one bit.. for the best. Quaint, friendly, relaxed and copious amounts of wine. Perfect
