10. Maggie Beer's Farm Shop

This is a lovely space situated inside a sort of upscale farm shop in the Barossa. It reminded me a little of Daylesford Farm Shop in Oxfordshire, UK. The grounds are fantastic and well-planted with climate-suited succulents and the like. Birds a-plenty too.The menu is small but with some lovely dishes. I had a starter for lunch based on brussels sprouts and black hollandaise and bacon. A lot tastier than it sounds! They also serve non-alcoholic sparkling Cabernet and Chardonnay grape juices which were really refreshing. Their ciabatta bread was delicious and the butter that came with it was particularly good. Service was brusque but efficient. Not a lot of friendly interaction but that didnât detract from the food and the surroundings that much. Definitely a great place to stop on a trip around the Barossa.

I bought a voucher for lunch, with a choice of 4 dishes and a glass of wine each for $50. It was great value. The food was amazing,(gnocchi and kingfish). The pork and potatoes which were pretty good but not amazing. The service was top notch especially Kaila. Will go back again and again. Highly recommend it.

Watching Neil Perry cooking on this very beach at Stokes Bay on TV more than 5 years ago was what made me want to come to kangaroo island. This cafe didn't disappoint (except Neil wasnt there )Friendly service , great seafood including garlic prawns and a seafood basket. Nice local wines to match and a view of the pristine beach. Super chilled and with the drive. A short walk through the amazing rocks to the secret beach which is one of the most beautiful ever.

All the locals recommended here for a good seafood dinner and we were not disappointed. The King George whiting was perfectly cooked and so tasty. The chips and calamari were also excellent. Service was fast, friendly and efficient, what more could you ask for. This was an anniversary dinner we will remember. Highly recommended.

The decor of the restaurant and adjoining lounge is understated and elegant. We found the staff all friendly and very knowledgeable. The food was brilliant and we loved each course, portions are small but by the end we were certainly full and very satisfied. The extra touches are very thoughtful and added to our dining experience.

Not much in Lyndoch, but if you are there do yourself an enormous favour and go to this place for dinner.The chef , James, is exceptional, could be cooking anywhere he wants, but here is is.I'm a gnocchi nazzi, he'd made it that morning , and seriously, it was so light and smooth I couldn't believe it.If he has made pasta , just have it , he is brilliant.That aside everything else he did was exceptional. We cancelled highly rated places to go back to him.And you can have breakfast and lunch too........................all brilliant.This is not a cafe, it is an wonder .James, keep up the brilliant work, and your great staff.Hey Mark,Thanks for your lovely review.

We were recommended this place by a couple on our wine tour and I'm happy that we decided to come. The serving sizes are really big and the Quail was definitely my favourite. Green beans and chips as a side were also pretty good and the staff provided really good service.

Such a great dining experience and delicious meal. Definitely recommend the tasting menu as it is the best value for money. Brussel sprouts especially good as well as the squid. Really loved the way the drinks were brought over and poured in front of you - a really nice touch. Would return in a heart beat!

Degustation menu was the only dining option on the friday nite we ate here. Approximately 8 courses served and the standard was excellent. $89 for the food and an extra $59 for the matched wines. Fairly standard prices for such a meal. The crispy barramundi was a standout and cooked perfectly. A couple of courses that I would not have usually tried eg. black pudding croquettes but for the most part thoroughly enjoyed them all. The staff were very attentive and professional with good knowledge of the dishes on offer. Its located up high and the views in the daytime or at sunset would be incredible

We visited with another couple for the 7 course tasting menu with luxury wine matching.Including the tasting to start it actually ends up being about 15 plates all with wonderful presentation.The service was great and the flavours were distinct and yummy. My Husband loves meat so his only minor complaint was only 1 course had mammal but I really canât fault anything.
