Enjoy offerings like rainbow trout, pil pil beans, peas, spring onion and smoked peppers, before Yeringberg lamb, BBQ carrots, hazelnut miso and red currants; or vincotto and honey roasted duck, smoked duck morcilla, blood plum agretti and black olive, paired with a glass of Oakridge Close Planted Syrah.
A few words from Oakridge Restaurant
Head just one hour out of Melbourne and you can find yourself tucked amongst the rolling hills of Yarra Valley, with vineyard views extending to the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges.
Here, Oakridge is the foodie escape you've been looking for.
Oakridge Restaurant
Fueled by the kitchen garden, Oakridge Restaurant's new Executive Chef Daniel Snooks takes the notion of seasonal, produce-driven food to new heights. Local cheeses and charcuterie fill their cool rooms, while the bounty of seasons past are crafted into incredible ferments, pickles and condiments, and bread is baked daily on site. It's the recipe which has earned our restaurant a chef's hat and established it as one of the Yarra Valley's favourite spots to lunch, and lunch long.
Monday, Thursday & Friday - open for two or three course set menu lunch
Weekends & Public Holidays - open for four course set menu lunch
The Terrace
With all the heart and dedication of the restaurant in a simpler format, The Terrace offers a more casual, spontaneous option for dining. Perfect for a light lunch after a Cellar Door tasting or just to enjoy a few snacks with a glass of wine in the sunshine, the Terrace menu is served outside on our terrace (weather permitting) and we have a few select seats available inside.
Open Thursday to Monday 12noon - 3.30pm
Bookings can now be made for The Terrace Dining.
