Tonic

Top choice in New South Wales


Classy Tonic is highly lauded for its sophisticated contemporary food that celebrates the region. Perhaps you'll start with Mandagery Creek venison, followed by the Cowra lamb loin with field mushrooms, roasted celeriac and confit tomatoes? Be sure to save room for drool-worthy original desserts, like fig, honey and hazelnut mille-fuille. Book ahead.

The food featured is almost always sourced from nearby, with a menu that is changed every few months according to seasonal availability.
