Here's what’s open in McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast today. A great way to support local.
Overview
Next time you’re in McLaren Vale, make sure you come hungry and pay a visit to the award-winning Salopian Inn restaurant.
A local institution, with a focus on sustainability and showcasing fresh, regional produce, the Salopian is a jewel in the Fleurieu Peninsula’s culinary crown, featuring an eclectic array of interesting dishes created by its passionate chef - and arguably the best steak in town.
Weaving your way through its seasonal menu options, start the meal with a serve of their signature steamed buns or pork dumplings before moving on to a main of ethically-sourced seafood or locally-grown pasture-fed lamb and a tasty side dish crafted with ingredients picked fresh from the restaurant’s own garden.
And if you can’t decide? Choose the ‘Feed Me’ option that ensures you’ll never leave hungry, showcasing their best-loved dishes from garden, paddock and sea.
But it’s not only the food that sets this place apart. Gin-lovers will rejoice when they realise they can take their pick of over 200 local and international varieties, while wine enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the historic wine cellar to select their own special bottle.
Not complete without dessert, indulge in a selection of handmade cheeses, or take it to the next-level with a super-charged affogato made with strong, locally sourced coffee.
For a great experience and a sumptuous meal full of regional flavour, you can’t go past the Salopian Inn.
