About Hays Street Bar + Kitchen
Find a space inspired by love of community, wine and European cuisine at new restaurant on the McLaren Vale block, Hays Street Bar + Kitchen in Goolwa. A rustic vibe of exposed brick, wooden ceiling beams, pendent globes and a well-stocked bar await diners as they peruse a menu showcasing seasonal, quality local produce used to create food to nourish the soul. Begin a memorable meal with leek and Parmesan croquettes, Romesco and pickled shallot, or Goolwa pipis, garlic herb butter and grilled focaccia; before braised lamb shoulder, yoghurt hummus, currants and mint sauce, or beef eye fillet, kohlrabi, celeriac remoulade and café de Paris butter. Finish with chocolate tart, salted caramel, roasted pear and ANZAC crumb, or goats’ curd cheesecake, strawberry, vanilla syrup and malt.

Super food, very good service fantastic atmoshere
My wife and I are real foodies. In Europe we visit at least 6 star restaurants per year. In Australia we mainly find very tasty pub food but rarely quality restaurants. That's why this case was a wonderfully positive surprise. Extremely refined dishes, skilled, correct and very sympathetic dishes and beautiful gems of wines. In short, highly recommended!
