Eating at du Fermier is a little like eating at someone’s home. Annie creates a seasonal menu each weekend. Sometimes the dishes are plated, sometimes shared, always they revolve around what is being harvested from the garden or taken from the store cupboard. The food is based on classic French farmhouse dishes that are to be enjoyed with friends and family. The set menu is $66 per head and can also be enjoyed with matched wines from our carefully procured wines from France and Victoria.
