Food
In 2017 we revived Mount Lofty House's gastronomic gloriousness and brought back the feel of the lavish social gatherings that once reigned these walls, engaging 3 chef hat Jin Choi as executive chef of Hardy's Verandah Restaurant and international master barmen for the Arthur Waterhouse Lounge.
As soon as you walk in, you will feel it. Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant is filled with the refinement, elegance and opulence that Arthur Hardy’s guests would have enjoyed 165 years ago. With the executive chef Jin Choi’s simplistic yet technical and delicately composed dishes, you will experience a once in a lifetime culinary highlight.
