That experience has inspired a menu where Mount Zero's new season olive oil takes centre stage. Thoughtfully woven through every course, the menu celebrates the freshness, complexity and versatility of the harvest, bringing the story of the grove to the table. Be among the first to experience the new season harvest through an evening of thoughtful food and exceptional olive oil. Book now!
