June in The Restaurant celebrates the cool-season harvest from Montalto’s gardens: think cime di rapa, kales and brassicas, heirloom radish and beetroot, citrus, and the season’s first tamarillos. Jerusalem artichokes and rhubarb feature alongside estate preserves, bringing depth and brightness to a winter menu grounded in texture, warmth and complexity.
With sweeping views across the vines to the sea, The Restaurant at Montalto has long been a destination for those seeking an elevated dining experience on the Mornington Peninsula. The Restaurant has entered an exciting new chapter: an evolved seasonal menu format that brings even more choice to your table, while continuing to celebrate Montalto’s renowned estate-to-plate philosophy.
Introducing Our Refined Seasonal Menus
From May, guests can enjoy:
This refined format gives diners the freedom to select their own main course, adding a personal touch to a carefully curated journey through the season's best.
Available Mondays and Fridays, this offering delivers the same immersive experience with one less course - ideal for a weekday escape to the Peninsula.
Each menu is a thoughtful expression of Montalto's estate, guided by the expert hand of Head Chef Adam Johnston, whose connection to the estate's produce forms the heart of every plate.
Final tickets are on sale now!
Settle into The Restaurant for an uplifting, inspiring evening with broadcaster and writer Jacinta Parsons as she celebrates the wisdom gained in ageing as a woman – and redefines the story of the second half of our lives.
Set against the backdrop of an intimate two-course dinner in The Restaurant at Montalto, Parsons will reflect on her own experience of ageing, alongside the powerful stories of the remarkable women she’s encountered - each offering unique tales of resilience, wisdom and grace - and the lessons they’ve imparted.
She joins host Hilary Harper for an honest, thought-provoking and energising conversation about ageing with love and the spirit of rebellion.
“Foraged from secret spots around Red Hill, local pine mushrooms and slippery jacks are cooked simply over the wood fire to showcase their earthy depth. Tossed with fresh herbs from our estate gardens and served alongside a rich, braised pearl barley, this dish captures the essence of autumn on the Mornington Peninsula - wild, warming and wonderfully local.”
Adam Johnston, Head Chef
The Restaurant is open Friday – Sunday for lunch. Reservations essential.

“As we welcome winter in our gardens, the soil starts to get colder and growth slows on our produce. Winter brassicas sweeten with the cold and our radicchio, kohl rabi and cime di rapa are harvested in succession.
Our orchard and berries sleep as I start planning for spring.”
Julie Bennett, Produce Manager
