If you had to ask me where my favourite meal was from my Adelaide trip earlier this year, it would be a no brainer. Nestled within the Mclaren Valley, the entire d'Arenberg experience impressed. Its restaurant, D'Arry's, boasts a grand view, top service and the food... ahh the food.... let's just say wow. My mind was going insane at how delicious and beautifully presented everything was. Just go there. Quick, go there!!

Their menu changes seasonally plus they have a degustation menu if you're really up for a fest. There's an outdoor and indoor dining area but in both cases, depending on where you're sitting, you get a peek of the beautiful luscious landscape. The photo above is taken from the restaurant, pretty huh?

So instead of hearing me raving on anymore, I'm going to let the photos do the talking. Hopefully you'll be able to see for yourself how great it was! 

Hokkaido Scallops with Pig Tail Cube, Cauliflower Puree & Pea, Fennel, Caper Salad

House Made Bread with Paprika Almonds, Diana EV Olive Oil & Brian’s Marinated Olives

Lobster Medallion with Blue Swimmer Crab & Prawn Ravioli & Lobster Bisque

Slow Roast Pork Belly with Fig Chutney, Fennel, Radicchio & Miss Merbein Fig Salad

Roast Pumpkin & Preserved Lemon Gnocchi with Roast Garlic Cream, Labne, Baby Spinach & Pistachio Dukkah

Rice Pudding with Poached Apple, Rhubarb Compote & Oat Biscuit

I don't know how else to put it. The food was seriously incredible. I had the pumpkin gnocchi and I'm normally very unimpressed with gnocchi but it just sounded too good so I gave it a try. The texture was so chewy and soft, it was not like any gnocchi I'd ever tasted. And the scallops? Perfectly cooked. The dessert was a beast, I couldn't even finish it but I tried so hard because it was truly delicious. 

If you're ever in Adelaide, even if you're not a wine fan, go to the Mclaren Valley and make sure you have a meal here. Even splurge a little. Obviously this place isn't cheap but it will play with your senses. Trust me. You can thank me later.
