Lunching on The Terrace
 While
we headed down to Broadford to have New Year's eve with the Snaith's (more of
that soon), we planned
a stop over lunch in Rutherglen (actually Wahgunyah) at The Terrace, the
restaurant that executive Chef Sean Duggan bought from All Saints a year or so
ago. Sean had an Age Good Food Guide Chef's Hat two years running while working
at Salix, in the Willow Creek Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula.
The Good Food Guide rating for The Terrace is 14/20 and I
bet it gets a hat in the next round. The food was well presented, tasty and good
value for money and the location just perfect for a warm Sunday afternoon.
The dining area is in a substantial tented annexe on the terrace, beside the
winery cellar door.

It might be a bit wild on a wet winter's
day, but seeing out to the pond and vines is very pleasant.
The staff were attractive and attentive but obviously busy and I
had to ask for a second glass
of wine for
 my main course (from a good by-the-glass list
of the All Saints wines, and bottles at reasonable prices).
The
Terrace website has the current menu, and while the Degustation menu looked
tempting, Jan
 convinced me that preparing for New Year's Eve was more sensible.
We shared some breaded olives and a small spoonful of shredded duck and Asian
greens on a betel leaf. Very
tasty.
