Messmates Dining

A culinary adventure in South Gippsland - SilverKris

"A stylish regional restaurant opened in 2023 by a family-and-partner team, pairing warm front-of-house hospitality with a kitchen staffed by chefs with fine-dining pedigrees. The interior features curved banquettes, exposed brick and messmate timber, and the seasonally rotating menu — which earned the venue a major regional restaurant award — spotlights Gippsland produce in dishes such as blistered tomatoes with zucchini, basil and pangrattato (anchovy umami) served with house sourdough, and a silky scotch fillet bathed in tomato jus topped with peppery rocket; service strikes a comfortable balance between warm and unobtrusive." - Victoria Khroundina
