McLaren Vale Restaurants

We could call it our Top 10 McLaren Vale restaurants or the best restaurants of McLaren Vale - but that's not what this is all about. For one, there are a lot more than 10 restaurants listed here...

​

And that is simply because we are truly spoilt in McLaren Vale for choice with plenty of amazing restaurants  (did you know that we have  7 "hatted" restaurants that call McLaren Vale home? More than the Barossa Valley or any other South Australian wine region); but this page is not just about fine dining, and with many open for lunch only finding a great place for dinner (especially mid-week) in McLaren Vale can be a bit of a challenge. That's why we have consolidated our suggestions here for you, covering a broad section from fine dining to just having a casual lunch or dinner. 

​

First page gives you the essentials, from type of venue, price range and the all important opening hours to a little teaser on our thoughts of the meals we have enjoyed there - click through and you will get to our complete review of the restaurant and their food.

 

Good news is that most of our McLaren Vale Restaurants are back to normal opening hours again, but some have kept a limited number of  fixed seating times (as introduced during the times of Covid restrictions).
We try to keep our list below up-to-date with current opening hours and  price range, but both are obviously subject to continuous change.
Calling ahead to book is essential for all.
