REVIEW
This is as close as you can get to paradise--balmy breeze blows against your face as you sit overlooking the vineyards and olive groves. Le Petanque is understatedly elegant and generously spaced over 20 acres and takes its external landscaping and chic interiors to the next level.
The painstakingly selected wine list is balanced between old and new world and showcases treasured labels at inexpensive prices.
Chef Stuart Deller is no stranger to the immaculate and his focus is on the fresh and on quality ingredients. Each dish is flavourful as should be. On the menu you will find gourmet items such as the foie gras, free range otway pork belly accented with seared Atlantic scallops, braised fennel, apple and a calvados glaze and the Wagyu brisket braised in Shiraz and liquorice served with snail ragout garlic puree.
For dessert the rhubarb with fragrant rice pudding is simply divine. Though inspired by the South of France, this dining experience stands on its own merit.
