Brae, Fine dining restaurant in Birregurra, Australia.
Brae is a restaurant located on a 20-acre organic farm in the Otways region, where daily harvests from the property supply the kitchen with fresh ingredients. The menu is composed as a tasting experience and changes based on what is currently ripe and available.
Chef Dan Hunter founded the restaurant after working as head chef at Mugaritz, bringing international cooking techniques to rural Victoria. The blend of established methods with forward-thinking approaches has shaped the work ever since.
The establishment's name comes from Scottish language, meaning hillside, which reflects its position in the Victorian countryside. The food connects regional farming traditions with cooking methods from around the world, creating something distinct to this place.
Visitors should know the restaurant opens only on certain weekdays and reservations are needed well in advance. The location is somewhat remote, so planning your arrival and allowing time for the full experience are important.
The restaurant has six architecturally designed suites where guests can extend their visit with an overnight stay surrounded by olive groves and beehives. This lodging option allows you to experience the setting and surroundings beyond just the evening.
