A few plates from the bistro menu this Saturday evening.

Rare roast beef from Green hills farm in Malmsbury, tonnato w salt & vinegar onion rings.

Frame 2 is a nod to a favourite dish that we spent many late nights in China Town eating in years gone by. Beautiful strawberry clams from NSW, cooked in white w**e and mounted with plenty of butter, herbs, charcuterie XO sauce and fried bread for soaking up all that goodness.

We are starting to see more spring veg coming through now, we have got some exceptional purple sprouting broccoli from our friends at Tumpinyeri Growers in Eganstown, served atop a bed of smoked almond tarrator with pickled shallot. Yum, healthy & unintentionally vegan.

Some peak Sydney Rock Oysters from Wagonga, always best enjoyed with a glass of something cold & crisp.

Our w**e list could be described as succinct & ever evolving, what remains the same is our dedication to showcasing the very best of Victorian w**e. Seen here are some favourites from POOL WINES Circle of Hills Guildford Vineyard gum.w**e Dilworth and Allain Babche

Final frame is the bistro menu for this Saturday evening. Bookings preferred but walk ins most welcome.

MORCHELLA AUSTRALIANA Season 2026

It’s been a good one. Plenty of time spent in the hills in the districts adjacent to us.
Always a good time to see wildlife start to warm up or come out of brumation in the case here of this shingleback / stumpy / whatever your family called them growing up.

Morel hunting fuel.

Maybe it’s a superstition, but for the first pick of the season we generally go out relatively unprepared. Maybe mushrooms can sense our greed and try extra hard not be found. No boxes or baskets, hats become gathering baskets, jackets and jumpers turned in to make shift slings to hold our finds.

We are fully prepared with baskets on our next outing though!

A morel in situ. You can learn a lot about morels by studying the environment they grow in.

There’s still plenty out there, but the season will wrap up in the next couple weeks.

Hopefully they make it to the bistro menu one more time!

We got a text message this morning from Belly of the World Mushrooms asking whether we wanted a box of morels. Rhetorical question…
As a result, we’ve done a last minute switch up to the menu to bring you possibly the last of the morels for the season!

Plenty of bottles from our favourite Victorian w**e makers POOL WINES Circle of Hills Guildford Vineyard gum.w**e Dilworth and Allain Babche

Cotechino sausage with mustardy Mount Zero - Australian Olive Oil, Olives & Produce lentils & verde from the bistro menu a few weeks back. A classic for a reason.
