Merlot Restaurant Bar

Best Known For

Beef strip loin, shallot tarte tatin, tomato and black garlic salsa.

Named in honour of the grapes plucked from the vines it overlooks, Merlot Restaurant Bar on Milawa-Bobinawarrah Road in Milawa is where cuisine, comfort and conversation are the key ingredients. Nestled in Lancemore Milawa estate, a pared-back interior with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame both the vineyard and refurbished courtyard awaits; it’s a place where a passion for everything delicious about the High Country comes to the table. Begin a memorable culinary adventure with native satay of scallop, crispy saltbush and sweet potato roti, or beef tartare, XO sauce and sesame; before mains such as pork belly pithivier, pumpkin, apple and jus, paired with a glass of Cavedon Pinot Noir. Perhaps en croute red emperor tempts, served with scallop mousseline, parsley and Jerusalem artichoke.
