Heronswood - Kurunjang

Not much but I like the place and food. Worth coming

Some call this cafe restaurant at the Heronswood estate, Heronswood Restaurant. Others call it Fork to Fork. The latter name comes from the concept here. Organic veggies from very nearby on the estate itself. Garden fork to table fork and zero food miles. <br/ <br/ This is a seriously stunning location half way up Arthur’s Seat with a great view of the bay. On a gorgeous warm, still sunny day like today, it was close to paradise. If you’re astute enough and you score the right weather, there’s a couple of tables here with magnificent views. They can be reserved.<br/ <br/ After a wander through the excellent nursery and a visit to the shop, we found ourselves at the restaurant for lunch. There’s a good short menu here with ample to choose from. We shared the grazing plate and the pumpkin, leek and blue cheese tart and salad. The grazing plate features chicken roulade, goat cheese, carrot with aged cheddar, Heronswood egg, house relish, salad and bread. Both dishes were generously sized and very tasty. This is rustic, wholesome and really good food which we enjoyed thoroughly. The coffee to finish was very good too. <br/ <br/ This was a very pleasant lunch. Service was lovely, polite and efficient throughout. Heronswood is such a lovely place. We will return soon.

I just love this place! Something always tastes better when you know the food has either been grown on the grounds or sourced locally. An ever changing menu that matches the season and a lot of attention and love goes into the food they produce. I visit this place 4-5 times a year and have never been disappointed!

The menu features heirloom vegetables and fruits grown organically on site at Heronswood. I chose the ‘Pumpkin, carrot, kale and semolina tart, served with garden greens $24.00)’.

It's true that the $10 entry fee is a surprise downer to kick things off, but the service is efficient and the food shows capable cooking with the fabulous ingredients they have access to. Cosy surroundings and worth a diversion for sure.
