The Mornington Peninsula has many standout restaurants to keep a dedicated diner occupied every night of the week and twice on a Sunday.

The Dining Room at Lancemore Lindenderry Red Hill is a tremendous regional dining room locals don’t even know about yet. If they did, they would keep it in their back pocket.

Designed by the team at Hecker Guthrie, it nails lighting, design, service, food and wine. Still, it doesn’t have to be that way. The coolest thing about this place is its brooding dark walls, artwork, floor to ceiling windows, inviting the outside in, curved-back chairs and a cosy vibe aided by the open fire.

Recently awarded One Hat by the Australian Good Food Guide 2022 Restaurant Awards for deliciously fresh, seasonal produce makes its way from paddock to plate in a classic European style before it is paired with their very own award-winning Lindenderry Wines from the vineyard or a classic vintage from their extensive wine list that celebrates the best in Australian and international vintners.

If you indulge, you might as well do it at a place where luxury has value beyond the price tag or the chef’s name. The Dining Room is as good as it is billed to be.
