Thyme at the Lakes
A lakeside restaurant with views over the whole city, where the Spanish-style baked seafood paella and lamb are the most popular dishes.
Located in a motel on Lake Terrace West near Blue Lake, the restaurant sits high enough to look out over the whole of Mount Gambier. The menu blends Australian and international flavours. Signature dishes include a Spanish-style baked seafood paella and roast lamb. Desserts include white chocolate and strawberry balls and a hazelnut affogato, and there are also vegetarian and vegan menus. Diners often praise the views, presentation and service. The menu changes often and prices are mid-to-high, so booking dinner ahead is recommended. Spending is about AUD 60–90 per person.
