Would appreciate any honest reviews, thinking of making a reservation here - considering dining here but seems to be less mentioned vs Botanic / Magill Estate / Hentley Farm. How does the menu/service/ambience compare given they are all priced similarly?
Heading to Barossa Valley in July and looking for winery recommendations!
Would love to visit vineyards / cellar doors with excellent tasting experiences, standout wines, and ideally bottles that are well-regarded. What places are worth booking?
Current list:
Will be looking to do a trip down to Adelaide/Barossa Valley this Winter (July) and hoping to try some of the best restaurants in the area. Any recommendations for best fine dining restaurants, the few that I have come across below - any thoughts / opinions / additions? Thanks
- Restaurant Botanic (Gourmet Traveller of the Year Restaurant 2023, with the recent departure of Chef Justin James is it still worth going? How is the new concept with Chef Jamie Musgrave leading)
- LVN Restaurant at Bird in Hand (Chef Jacob Davey, ex Botanic)
- Magill Estate (Penfolds, wine focused, mixed reviews on the food)
- Hentley Farm Restaurant (Vineyard/Wine experience)
- Hardy's Verandah Restaurant
- Restaurant Aptos (Chef Justin James newly opened restaurant, A$495/pax, will it be worth the price)
