Narrative

A cover crop salad inspired by Burradoo Park’s regenerative farming practices is an early signature, warmed with a blanket of fermented-turnip-boosted beurre blanc and garlic-chive oil, while Australian White-breed lamb (raised with their mothers 200 metres from the restaurant) is fashioned into one heck of an assiette with sheep’s-milk yoghurt and shiso.
