The Lake House Restaurant is consistently recognised as a destination for lovers of good food and wine. In the kitchens, a talented young team under the guidance of Alla Wolf-Tasker works from the ground up producing cutting edge, modern Australian cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal and regional ingredients.
A network, developed over the years, of local growers and suppliers, provides the best and choicest regional produce to this country kitchen. This includes chestnuts, wild mushrooms, morello cherries, wild berries, rabbits, venison, duck, free-range chickens and eggs, trout, yabbies, lamb, beef and an increasing amount of organically grown and produced goods.
Menus change with the availability of new seasonal produce and use organics where possible. The selection of Contemporary Australian dishes draw inspiration from all over the world including Alla's homeland of Russia and her original training ground of France. Degustation Menus offer a special opportunity to sample a diverse range of the kitchen's offerings.
The plush dining room boasts suede banquets and waterfront views and outdoor terraces are a great way to take in the change of the seasons.
The Lake House Cellar houses approximately 10,000 bottles and is used for private dining.
