Fodor's Expert Review Laura

Named for the Jaume Plensa​ sculpture of a girl's head, which is in full view of the best tables, this award-winning restaurant sits at the heart of a A$60-million-plus sculpture park, and its set menus celebrate the peninsula's bounty and its connections with local farmers. The decor is calm and elegant, with white-linen tablecloths and neutral, soothing tones that do not distract from the stunning setting framed by its walls of windows. The four- and eight-course degustation menus (A$150/A$195) are tight, creative, and special; the only stress is with the wait list for reservations. One of but a handful of Australian appointments to Relais & Châteaux.

If you can't get a reservation at this 45-seat hot ticket, the vibrant Pt. Leo Dining Room (separated only by glass from Laura) is larger and more casual, but also excellent. Visit for lunch then explore the sculpture park on a postprandial stroll.
