d'Arrys Verandah Restaurant

I thoroughly enjoyed my passionfruit souffle which was the perfect ending to a delicious lunch. I only wish the restaurant was also open for dinner.

Perfect Sunday lunch on a warm day. Highly recommend the Lobster Medallion Grain Fed Chicken.

Had to wait 15 minutes for the table, but the service and quality of food more than made up for this.

The entire experience was amazing - brilliant food, great service and an amazing day. Our entire group's meals were faultless, with the soft centred pudding a highlight! Visiting the cellar door next door finished the day perfectly.

d'Arrys has become one of our favourite places in South Australia, particularly outside of the metro area. We have eaten lunch there many times and it has been faultless on every occasion.

Despite the fact that the restaurant is priced at the medium to higher end of lunch menu's the wine list is incredibly affordable. The pricing is such that you tend to stroll through and try a fair amount on the list, just because you can (it is all available by the glass) and won't have you crying come bill time. No doubt a good strategy for the Cellar Door as you invariably find a few 'must haves' over lunch and are in no condition to resist by this point.

Some of the dishes I have had here remain with me for a long time afterward. The Cepe sauce and potato gateaux that comes with the beef fillet is incredible and has made every steak I cook at home feel naked and unfinished. The 'Lobster Medallion with Blue Swimmer Crab, Prawn Ravioli & Lobster Bisque' (that's a mouthful) is also divine.

When we go to McLaren Vale we want to enjoy all things wine and food and d'Arrys has become a 'must-visit' when are down there.
