Why we’d go

The historic packing shed gives a group meal a strong sense of place, and The Shed Restaurant serves Sunday lunch.

The Epicurean is housed in Red Hill’s historic coolstore and packing shed. Its Shed Restaurant currently serves lunch from Thursday to Sunday and dinner from Thursday to Saturday. The operator asks visitors to reserve; groups of eight or more can use its Seasonal Table menu. The shed setting makes this a useful choice for a group meal or a Sunday lunch. Check the current menu, service times and any surcharges on The Epicurean’s booking page before travelling.
