Intertwining modern Australian cuisine, attentive service and refreshing ingredients, Cracked Pepper is a dining experience bound to sweep you away while you overlook the garden and lawns sprinkled with shady paperbark trees through the large windows.

There is always something a little different and delicious to try. All the dishes have been carefully crafted, just like a winemaker, for balance of taste, texture, colour, carbohydrates and protein content, etc. As the chef is a coeliac there are plenty of options for those with the same dietary needs. Vegetarian and coeliac-friendly dishes feature in every menu; other dietary preferences and requirements are catered for whenever possible. Advance warning can often provide more choices upon arrival.

To complete your dining experience we have the full range of de Iuliis wines, including some aged releases unavailable elsewhere, as well as your favourite beers and spirits. Crack open a bottle of Pol Roger French Champagne to celebrate that special occasion!
