"The sheer size of Australia, and the commuting that necessitates, means that regional pubs, bistros, and roadside cafes have always been an integral part of the country’s culinary experience, such as Brae in regional Victoria."
"Sandwiched between the sea and Great Otway National Park on the Great Ocean Road, this petite beach town impressed me with its long sandy beach, nearby waterfalls, and food scene — I tried thin-crust pies at Pizza Pizza and modern Indian at Raas Leela, and noted that organic farm/restaurant Brae is a 30-minute drive away in Birregurra; the view from Teddys Lookout is spectacular." - Sarah Reid Sarah Reid Sarah Reid is a multi-award-winning Australian travel writer, editor, author, and sustainable travel expert with a passion for positive impact travel.

"Rank: #57 "Constantly evolving dishes, a year-round sunlit setting and chef-owner Dan Hunter’s culinary ingenuity make Brae one of Australia’s most enduring standout restaurants." "
"Brae has solar panels and an on-site worm farm that helps create a near-closed loop."
"A restaurant near Melbourne mentioned as another international example of chefs adopting the rigorous, place-focused approach—translating microseasonal Nordic ideas into an Australian context and contributing to the worldwide proliferation of that aesthetic." - George Reynolds
