Brae

Brae is an internationally acclaimed destination restaurant located in Birregurra, near Colac in regional Victoria, approximately two hours’ drive from Melbourne, and widely considered one of the finest and most conceptually complete dining experiences in Australia. Chef Dan Hunter’s restaurant operates on a 30-acre organic farm, where many of the ingredients served in the tasting menu are grown, cultivated and harvested on site, creating a genuine and deeply meaningful farm-to-table experience unlike any other in the country. The menu changes constantly with the seasons and the rhythms of the farm, ensuring that every visit is unique and that every dish reflects the current state of the land. The cooking is creative, technically accomplished and rooted in genuine respect for its ingredients, resulting in food that is both surprising and deeply satisfying. The restaurant also offers overnight accommodation on the farm, making Brae a natural destination for a full gastronomic retreat. The setting is serene and immersive, with the farmland providing a beautiful and calming backdrop to the experience. Service is warm, informed and well-aligned with the restaurant’s ethos of genuine hospitality. The wine and beverage programme is thoughtfully curated to complement the seasonal menu. Brae is particularly suitable for those making a special journey for an exclusive, nature-inspired fine dining experience.
