Brae

 

 

Brae \’brā\ n. —

A hillside; a gentle slope.

Brae still life by Scottie Cameron

Led by chef Dan Hunter, Brae is a restaurant, organic farm and boutique accommodation nestled in a hillside in the Otways hinterland.
We create dishes uniquely of our place with respect and care, honouring the working lands on which we’re located.
For over a decade, we’ve been stewards of this landscape and have evolved and refined an innovative approach to a cuisine modelled around principles of ethical, sustainable production.
We’ve carefully designed your dining experience to complement an exploration of – and immersion in – the environment surrounding Brae.
We hope you’ll find this landscape and your experience within it as special as we do.

Dinner – Wednesday, Thursday

Lunch – Friday, Saturday

Dine

Our cuisine is ever-evolving, shifting with the rhythm of the weather and seasons.
We harvest our working lands daily and complement this with high quality, ethical produce drawn from our local region.

Brae farm

Farm

We manage the lands around Brae using regenerative farming techniques – free of pesticides and synthetic inputs – to produce much of what we serve in the restaurant. Each morning, our team of gardeners gather a harvest for that day’s service – which we complement with ingredients produced ethically by passionate local growers.
We encourage guests to connect with the landscape and have established paths throughout the property so you can explore the land that informs our ethos.
