Martha Hardy's Kitchen

Overview

The Mount Lofty House team introduce Martha Hardy's Kitchen to the Mount Lofty Estate, a new a la carte restaurant welcoming all guests and visitors. The menu focuses on fresh regional produce — a salute to Martha Hardy's hearty yet elegant cooking style, with slow-cooked lamb as the signature dish. A Fleurieu peninsula lamb shoulder for two is braised for 17 hours and served with caramelized pumpkin puree, confit turnip, heritage carrots, and garlic jus. Vegetarian-led dishes include Mediterranean stuffed eggplant, chimichurri cauliflower lemongrass and turmeric pumpkin soup, and the cheese platter—a selection of local Adelaide Hills artisan cheeses from Section 28, served with walnut rolada, quince paste, and baccos leaves. Martha's is open daily for lunch 12-2pm and dinner from 6pm. Reservations are essential. Parking and entry are via the Piccadilly entrance.
