Argentinian food at it's finest. If you're looking for a special treat a little further afield, this one's it. Bookings recommended in the evenings (especially groups). Great place for a group of friends or family as the cuisine is designed for sharing and is served as it's cooked. You won't leave disappointed.

Parks & Nature
Drive and park at Grants Picnic Ground (tables, cafe & public toilets) or you can access the 7.5km loop walk at the end of Hardy Street, which takes in Grants Picnic Ground at the halfway point (stop for a coffee/tea/bird feeding). The loop walk is challenging but if you go early, you'll be awarded with sightings of various bird life including Lyrebirds, Cockatoos, Galahs, Black Cockatoos (occasionally), wrens, as well as Wallabies, the odd Kangaroo and even Echidnas. A walk in the forest alone makes any troubles go away - it truly is spectacular.
