Ottelia

Down in Coonawarra, the ultimate flex is scoring a lunch reservation at Ottelia. Discerning epicureans whisper about the Chef’s Menu—a multi-course degustation punching ridiculously above its weight. Flawless mussel tostadas. Delicate gnocchi. Slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Those trekking through the region make a beeline for the blistered woodfired pizzas and clever croquettes, always perfectly matched with a crisp pour of their Anytime White. The vibe? Effortlessly chic. Fiercely focused on the plate. Expect meticulous course briefings from staff who know their vino inside out. Just remember—booking ahead is absolute mandatory protocol to lock down this stellar regional feast.
