Pialligo Estate is one of my three favourite Canberra spots for fine dining.
It is blessed by the most gorgeous setting, so close to town.
And Pialligo Estate does food and wine so well, enjoying it’s own vineyard, winery and smokehouse.
I especially love the Garden Pavillions that truly make the most of Pialligo Estate’s assets.
So I was especially pleased to be there to try a group set menu lunch, a new experience for me at Pialligo.
Our delicious meal began with…
Three Mills Sourdough, Pialligo Estate Olive Oil
Pialligo Salmon Gravlax, Dill Pickles
Burrata, Early Season Tomatoes & Rocket Pesto
Smokehouse Meats, Condiments
…progressed to….
Spit Holmbrae Chicken, Pazanella
Whole Roasted Lamb Shoulder & Chickpeas
Potatoes in Olive Oil, Rosemary
Leaves in Aged Vinegar
…..and finished with….
Cheese Platter & Condiments
Vanilla Panacotta with Coffee & Chocolate
This pannacotta was the most lovely I’ve ever had and the star of the meal.
I will need to enjoy that again!
The set menu we enjoyed is excellent value at $70 per person for three courses with sides and cheese platter
This was beautifully complimented by a great selection of wines
I do love all the innovative things Pialligo Estate gets up to.
They are currently renovating the Farmhuse Restaurant and Rohan has more plans in mind.
The new Masterclasses are on my wish list.
So exciting to see the offerings from Pialligo Estate constantly evolving with new delights.
Love those garden pavilions with the sunshine streaming in and the spectacular views across the vineyards, the olive grove and gardens. That food looks superb as well.

Eating there is always good, but what I love is that I can buy their streaky bacon at the butcher shop in Belconnen mall!

$70 is great value for that lunch offering. Plus how spoiled are we to have such a lovely venue on our doorstep? A great place to show off Canberra to visitors.

Oh my what a feast! The panna cotta looks intriguing … kind of more like ice-cream? Or was there ice-cream with it?

One of my Canberra favourites too … have been a few times, but not this year. Keep trying to get there but other things keep getting in the way.
