Villa du Pays - Pokolbin

Yesterday we visited there again and no change - excellent! Although they had run out of eye fillet the sirloin and scorch filets were a most acceptable substitute. Also, since the last time the meat curing room had returned and just makes all the difference to flavours.The only poor news was the log fire they have always had is soon going to be exchanged with an electric one. The real fire was always a draw card and we have recommended this over the past years to many people.

You must visit VdP for dinner. The food is superb and the service is exceptional. The staff are very friendly and make sure you are comfortable. Do yourself a favour and visit the cellar door and then have dinner.

Amazing food - best of the trip. Service was 5*, John was incredible and is an asset to the company. Thank you for everything! We will absolutely be back

This restaurant is supposedly famous for it's moisture controlled aged beef and so my wife and I and an invited couple went to lunch today.They have a cooler room full of carcasses etc but when I ordered the eye fillet char grilled steak, they had none prepared! We had scotch fillets but that was not why we chose this restaurant. Rather than make a scene, I ordered the cheapest white and red wine, my wife didn't bother with an entree, we had no desserts and $400 later we left.... The seared scallop entrees and pork confit were fine, the steaks were a little too salty, more pre-seasoning of the meat than I would have expected, the complimentary sorbet was delicious and the service was excellent - But, the top steak was not available and no-one seemed apologetic... I was not even offered the Nolan's Private selection meats... Very disappointing and will be avoided in future. If I had been there by myself I would have walked out.

11/10 service, atmosphere, food, wine. Absolute perfection! We will be back. Exceptional all round! The suckling pig was incredible, the aged beef was perfection. Dessert was amazing. Service was attentive and exceptional. And the Villa itself ! Dreamy!
