The Currant Shed Restaurant

Awesome food! Had the 3 course à la carte menu! Chicken and beef respectively for mains! Chicken particularly good. Entrees were stand out! I had the melon and tuna plate, partner had the smoked salmon! Deserts also very good…rooibos creme brûlée and dark choccy mouse! Get a glass of the rose! Also nice touch with complementary palette cleanser sorbet and choc/espresso brownie with the bill!

This place is fantastic. I highly recommend eating here. We had lunch here and loved the intensity in the flavours of every dish. BYO wine, which is a nice touch. Atmosphere, ambience, and service were all warm and hospitable. I'd definitely go back here again if in the area.

We had a delicious 3 course meal with paired wines, all the food 10/10 couldn't fault it. The staff were amazing, we will be back soon.

What an incredible experience. The food was elegantly presented, with tantalising flavours. Each dish was introduced which enhanced the blending of flavours, colours and textures. The Customer service was exceptional from the moment of arriving to departure. Each staff member was enthusiastic without being extreme, they were obliging with conversation and added to the appeal of engagement. Whilst all staff were outstanding, Demi certainly went the extra mile. Her knowledge and personality shone. Current Shed is well worth spending the afternoon and delighting in the experience. Bravo.

What a gorgeous place! Food was exquisite, service warm and attentive with beautiful settings. We got their 3 course meals and they even have fantastic kid set for our girls. We appreciated the wine recommendation (the chardonnay was one of the best I've had during this trip). I can't recommend this place enough

We visited The Currant Shed in McLaren Vale for a long lunch, and it was an absolute standout. The setting is peaceful and beautifully rustic, surrounded by vineyards and citrus trees. Service was warm, thoughtful, and relaxed—just what you want in wine country. We enjoyed a few glasses of local Chardonnay, which paired perfectly with the laid-back atmosphere. It’s a great spot for couples or families, with a welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. One of our favorite stops in the region.

Lovely setting, friendly and helpful staff, with delicious food and a great selection of wines. Would love to visit again next time I come to South Australia.

We celebrated our anniversary for lunch today. The Chef certainly is so clever with flavours. The staff were all fabulous. It made our day special. Thank you. ❤️

This place has been on my watch list for ages- seriously it is worth visiting. It has been renovated in recent months and the new fit out is stunning- everything has been thought about with such care from the tables to the mugs made by a local potter. If you catch it in the warmer months be sure to sit under the pergola looking out onto the vineyards, lime groves and herb and veggie garden- it will take your breath away. My partner and I indulged in the autumn tasting menu and we were not disappointed. If we weren't working that afternoon we would have opted for the pairing with wine option- their wine list is equally as good as the food menu. Our favourite dishes were the lemon tart with torched meringue, the pumpernickel, beetroot, malt and goats curd and the sliced South Australian Kangaroo in native pepper with a blackberry reduction and hazelnut. Honestly though, out of 8 courses we did not dislike one thing. It's been a long time since we have enjoyed a meal and service so thoroughly at a restaurant so we will be back! It is a little on the pricer side but with the quality of the food and service it's worth every cent!

Wow - this is another destination eatery in Mclaren Vale. I feel a little like I'm giving a secret away, as although this is a popular restaurant the value/ service / location / deliciouosness do not have the same reputation amongst my Adelaide circles as they deserve. To my knowledge I am the first of my friends to visit, and boy am I glad I did! The restaurant is located - as the name indicates in an old drying shed, surrounded by a tahitian lime orchard. The table settings and chairs are relaxed and comfortable with just the right amount of finish - they really make you want to settle in for the afternoon which is what I suggest you do. The food is local produce of a superior standard and the dishes are imaginative and fresh, providing excellent value. Entrees range between $15 and $18, mains $28 to $35 and desserts are $15. I would suggest you tackle all 3 courses, but unless you are a really big eater you may just explode, so probably safer to plan on 2! They're only open for lunches, so chuck a sickie, or plan a sunday drive and I'll see you there!

What a hidden gem this place is. The only reason I wont give it five stars is because they aren't open for dinner. So many times I've been trying to think of somewhere for dinner. "Oh, The Currant Shed would be perfect if they were bloody open!" Anyway, on with the review. This place is seriously good. It's one of those places where you don't mind paying $15 for an entree, or $35 for a main, because you know the food is going to be of a standard that reflects the price. I had the duck, which was cooked perfectly, just the right amount of pink, and a creme brulee with lavender infused in the custard. Soooo nice. This is definitely a place to keep in mind if you have a special occasion and can swing the day off work.

This is a superb restaurant tucked away in the spectacular McLaren Vale wine region. We had the 3 course degustation meal, with lots of special delicacies in between. Located under a groovy barn/shed, surrounded by lime trees and lush vineyards. Just loved it, so don't just visit the wineries, make sure this is a must see during your visit.

Lovely setting and great staff. It is quiet expensive for casual lunch however in saying that the menu is very interesting and the food delicious, loved the little extras. Treat yourselves you wont be disappointed.
