Dining guide
The Louise, Baillie Lodges Dining Guide
Appellation has been the lodge dinner room since 2006. Executive chef Sam Cooper came from Aurora in Adelaide, Hardy’s Verandah and The Islington in Hobart, and earlier from sister lodge Capella. The kitchen garden sits metres from the pass; about 85 percent of ingredients come from within 100 km. Lodge guests dine as part of the tariff; wine or non-alcoholic pairings are included; bottles from the wine lantern are extra. Casual diners must book. Children ten and over. Breakfast is in Appellation — T-Bar teas, Barossa Coffee Roasters, garden greens. Sunset drinks in the lounge. Lunch is not on the tariff. Contour is the events brasserie for groups of 15 or more, not the default nightly room.
