This petite Adelaide Hills bistro encapsulates the best kind of community-driven neighbourhood dining. Chef Tom Campbell, Olivia Moore (ex LOC Bottle Bar) and James Spreadbury run the dining room, which is decked out with reclaimed timber and white cottage walls. The menu is an ever-changing snapshot of Euro-inspired dishes, such as Port Lincoln sardines on a slick of ajo blanco with crisp treviso leaves. Campbell doesn’t need a fancy kit to impress, using two induction burners to wrangle a bounty of biodynamic ingredients from local market gardens. Sourdough baguettes from local bakery Idle Hands are served with salty butter, anchovies, charcuterie, lamb’s brains, boozy prunes or house-made terrine. Seafood, including nannygai wings and vongole, is handled with finesse, perhaps lifted with umami-rich katsuobushi, seaweed or broadbean miso. Local, natural-leaning wines from the likes of The Other Right are enjoyed while grazing at kitchen-side benches or in the sun. A hip spot with lots of heart.
