Woodland House

Melbourne


In a glorious Victorian villa, Woodland House is home turf for young-gun chefs Thomas Woods and Hayden McFarland, former sous chefs to lauded Melbourne restaurateur Jacques Reymond. The menu spotlights local produce, cooked confidently in dishes such as grilled scampi with pickled mushroom and saltbush. On Thursday and Friday there's a smashing-value $60 three-course lunch with a glass of wine.
