Enjoy fine Australian contemporary cuisine in a relaxed bush setting at Bridges Restaurant on Heidelberg-Kinglake Road in Hurstbridge. This spacious restaurant in Melbourne’s outer east has a warm and welcoming vibe with open fireplaces, tall ceilings, background music and a stunning view of gum trees and blooming plants. On balmy days take to the large brick patio and soak up the sun while enjoying a chilled glass of wine and delving into entrees like crispy lemon pepper Panko crumbed squid rings and smoky chilli aioli; or the ‘absolute beauty’ of 16-hour slow-cooked pulled pork on a bed of chips, topped with crispy slaw, wasabi mayo, sweet chilli sauce and melted cheese. Perhaps chilli lime crab, mussel and prawn pasta tempts, or a tasty hoisin chicken, vegetable and noodle stir fry.
