Sunset Food and Wine

Sunset Food & Wine on Kangaroo Island is an absolute gem! The stunning ocean views create the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour, showcasing the best local ingredients. The wine selection is fantastic, perfectly complementing each dish. The service was warm and attentive, making you feel truly special. A must-visit for anyone looking for a top-notch culinary experience on the island!

We had an absolutely marvellous experience at Sunset Food and Wine. The food is outstanding -probably the best we have had in Australia- the view is magnificent and the service was perfect. We had the “feed me” menu and every dish was perfectly presented and a bomb of flavour in every bite. Also a good wine list to pair the food with. Highly recommend you give it a go when at KI!

Excellent Food! We were having dinner after arriving on kangaroo Island very late. Although it was very full they could give us a table and even adapt the meal to vegetarian.

We dined at the restaurant on December 29th 2024, opting for the $98 per person "Feed Me" menu. Unfortunately, the experience was far from enjoyable. While some dishes were passable, the main dish—King George whiting—was overwhelmingly salty and almost inedible. Service was another disappointment. My husband ordered tea after the meal, but it never arrived, and the waitress didn’t even acknowledge the oversight or offer an apology. One of the staff members appeared frustrated throughout the evening, rarely smiling, which added an unwelcoming vibe. Service management also left much to be desired. There were long gaps between dishes, leaving us waiting unreasonably, which disrupted the dining flow. The sunset view, however, was breathtaking, easily the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, stunning scenery alone cannot compensate for mediocre food and poor service. In summary, we wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

What a beautiful place for sunset. So glad my husband booked this place at just the right time. We had wallabies visit us on the lawn in front of the deck. The food was all so beautiful; we had the degustation and everything was perfect. Loved everything about this place! Great way to spend our 1 year anniversary.

What an extraordinary culinary experience. I can-not say enough great things about our dining experience! The food was innovative, unique, fresh and delicious. The flavour combinations wowwed myself and my friends. I loved the locally sourced ingredients and can honestly say I have not had a dining experience that surpassed the one I had with them today. This is a restaurant that deserves to be packed every hour they are open. Anyone not eating here on KI clearly does not know what they are passing up!. The food. The view. The service. The wine range. Second to none. I can't help but think there's something wrong with anyone not giving this place a 5 star review. We will be back and I will tell all my friends!

10/10! We were here on Saturday evening to enjoy the “Chef’s Menu”. It currently consists 8 courses. The composition is unique and insanely good. The ingredients are local from the island and of incredible quality. The prices are more than fair for what you get! The entire stay couldn't be topped - the food, the service, the location and all the employees and the owner made the evening something very special. If you would like to have a unique dining experience that is just excellent and fair priced, you should definitely eat here.

Fantastic place for dinner. Definitely worth our drive from kingscote to here. The sunset is beautiful so book a table early outside for the best view of the sunset. The best time is probably 6pm sitting in the summer to time for the sunset at the end. The sunset view is incredible here. For the quality of food, one is definitely getting incredible value for what you pay here. When we arrive for our new year eve dinner, we were greeted with two glasses of pol roger, which is a fantastic start. We stood on the porch to enjoy the view before the meal started. The set menu is quite well proportioned. Not too much food or too rich. Everything was put together with ultimate care, without the excessive pretentiousness and molecular gastronomy of top restaurants. Everything was excellent. My favorites were: Oysters with cape Malay dressing: amazing concoction. Super fresh oyster but the best part of this dish is in the sauce. A bit of acidity perfectly balanced with a splash of chili oil. Arguably the best oyster I have ever had. Blini with hand picked crab, cucumber, and ikura - beautiful presentation. The blini is warm and soft and forms the cradle for the best of the ingredients. Ikura usually tastes a bit raw and overwhelmingly salty on its own. Here it was blended into the blini and crab into a delightful bite that piques your appetite to discover more. ---- The rest: Lamb tartare - pretty good. Interesting seaweed wrap for this. Salmon sashimi - super fresh sashimi. A bit bland. Ask for a sea salt and additional lime to brighten this dish. Pork belly and loin - like the sweet cabbage addition to this. More traditional dish. St George whiting with pumpkin broth - love the fish with the broth. The fish is perfectly cooked. I didn't care for the greens on top (it may be broccoli). Cheese supplement - nothing special. Can skip this course. Chocolate mousse with pistachio, cherry, and peach sorbet - this is probably my least favorite within the menu. The rich chocolate clashes a bit with the acidity of the cherry and peach sorbet. I had to eat the two parts separately. I liked the fruits more than the chocolate. --- For the wine by the glass, I had the lane vineyard Chardonnay. It was great with the meal. If one is driving after dinner, it's best to ration the wine intake given the wild animals on the road at night. Our waitress was a lady who just got engaged to the British chef who runs the place a week before our dinner (congrats!). She was super friendly and very helpful.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Beverage selection includes some great regional wines. Fine food lots of flavor but portions very small. .

Had an amazing meal at sunset. The oysters were some of the best and most clean oysters I have ever had. The octopus was also amazing and highly recommend. The view is absolutely stunning if you are able to sit outside and there are kangaroo hopping around everywhere. Would 100% come again and again!
