Locale

Locale is part of the De Bortoli Yarra Valley Estate. The restaurant is situated above the cellar door and has views out over the vineyard. It has an old style Italian family restaurant feel to it, complete with white table clothes. The menu offers a good range of choices and the food was excellent. We were there on a day when the restaurant was booked out, in fact we had lunch late at 1.30. Despite this the food and service was all excellent, which is a true test of a restaurant. The atmosphere is traditional Italian and there were a lot of families dining there. The wine list is all De Bortoli which still provides a pretty good range.
