The Pavilion Restaurant is open for lunch Wednesday to Sunday, and features lovely views to The Calliope Vineyard, across the vast expanse of lawn. When the weather is fine, we open the French Doors & pull up the patio blinds, creating an alfresco dining experience. When it’s not so nice, we seat you in the inner restaurant, featuring plenty of natural light and glimpses of the vineyard and garden.
Our menu prepared by Head Chef Drew Buntine, features fresh, local produce, perfectly matched to the extensive range of Buller Wines from our wine list. Our entrées are perfect for sharing and Drew's Grass Fed, Eye Fillet Steak, with a Balladeer Jus is a winner with steak lovers. For guests who enjoy to finish their meal on a sweet note, our Sticky Muscat Pudding with Muscat Sauce is perfect with a glass of muscat.

First time experience dining at the Pavillion Restaurant.
I worked at the winery back in the late 80's early 90's so the visit was a sentimental visit back intime and further to see the progress that has been made since.
The Pavillion restaurant was absolutely wonderful from being greeted and seated, service delivery and presentation of each course was exceptional.
Seated at a table overlooking the lawn and accomodation was stunning.

Thank you Allan, and it was very interesting listening to your stories of the winery from when you worked there. We hope you come back again soon.

Great food, attentive staff. Didn’t feel rushed to leave. Not busy on the day we went, could be noisy if full? Will go again. $$
