Eschalot
A refined restaurant in an 1869 sandstone hotel in Berrima, and a benchmark for high-end dining in the Southern Highlands for more than two decades.
The restaurant occupies the sandstone building of the former Breen's Commercial Hotel, built in 1869, and much of its produce comes from its own kitchen garden and glasshouses. The highly recommended choice is the chef's “Feed Me” menu, which lets you sample several seasonal dishes, or you can opt for a multi-course banquet with wine pairings. The rib-eye steak with confit garlic and herb butter is particularly well regarded. It sits at the premium end of the price range. Weekend lunch and dinner need advance booking, and opening hours vary across platforms, so check with the restaurant before you go. Located on Old Hume Highway on Berrima's main street, about 15 minutes' drive from Bowral.
