Brae Restaurant

Australia’s premier dining destination, Brae offers a distinctive, nature-based hospitality experience that has earned national and international acclaim since opening in 2013.

Set in Victoria’s Otways, the sustainable, design-led restaurant and six carbon-neutral guest suites sit within lush native gardens on a productive 20-acre organic farm. Guests are invited to explore the landscape and connect with the source of their food.

Chef and Co-owner Dan Hunter creates a seasonal multi-course menu grounded in locality. Ninety percent of plants served are grown organically onsite, including native foods and wheat harvested, milled and baked within metres of the dining room. The menu also features sustainable Australian seafood, wild produce and ethically raised meat.

Brae’s regenerative farm produces vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries, olives, wheat and honey. Guided farm tours offer deeper insight into the land, regenerative agriculture and the collaboration between farm and kitchen.

Designed by Six Degrees Architects, the six carbon-neutral guest suites generate more energy than they consume. Built from recycled materials, they use solar power, rainwater and a worm-farm waste system. Interiors feature king beds, organic linen, skylights, Melbourne-made furniture, turntables, cocktail bars, underfloor heating and private outdoor areas with sweeping views.
