Fodor's Expert Review The Summertown Aristologist

This is contemporary food that takes Modern Australian cooking to new heights. A chalkboard, listing dishes defined only by their ingredients---most of which are locally grown---greets diners who come to this casual, wine-focused, entirely seasonal restaurant, where chefs in the open kitchen work hard to deliver creatively composed share plates served on handmade ceramic dishware. Downstairs, a wine cellar goes far beyond the usual suspects; instead of Barossa Shiraz, there are bottles from Europe and Australia made from organic grapes with no or minimal additives. If they pique your interest, the adjacent cellar door pours natural wines from the nearby Basket Range.
