Restaurant Review

A crisp Negroni Blanc on the patio is a refreshing way to ease into the four-course offering at this Barossa favourite – especially when the weather is fine.

The game plan here has always been top-dollar cosseting, and with a splendid wine list and largely accommodating service to match, that's what you get.

Clayton Wells pulls it off time and time again.

The go-to joint for gonzo libations and none-too-serious snackage.

Nowhere else captures Canberra's special blend of the parochial and the worldly like Rochford.

Service here is confident and charming, ensuring any occasion at Bennelong is just that little bit extra.

James Viles takes Mother Nature seriously. At Biota Dining, the kitchen and the environment are closely connected, with a focus on locally gathered and grown produce.

When a restaurant's very name references diversions, you'd expect it to eschew the straight and narrow.

Double-clothed tables, a capacious, sumptuously appointed room, discreetly eager staff in crisp uniforms - welcome to Est.

Think of Fratelli Paradiso as a stage, its diners and staff all actors working together daily to produce a play dedicated to the joys of a peculiarly inner-city brand of Sydney-Italianness.
