A little about us....

'It's not just food- it's an experience.'

Welcome to Avonleigh Farm- our beautiful home and property in the verdant, rolling hills of South Gippsland. Established as a boutique restaurant 7 years ago, hosts Jayne and Fraser are passionate about great produce, beautiful food and classic silver service. Step into the past in their Victorian styled dining room, hear stories of the antiques and treasures adorning the walls.

Enjoy treats made from the eggs of our little family of free range chickens, or savour the fresh garden herbs sprinkled generously on savoury dishes.

Come and be spoiled - it is what do best!
