Photo · Two Palms Australia, courtesy of Visit Victoria Why we’d go The kitchen gardens actually supply the kitchen, the oils come from the grove you are eating under, a produce-driven claim that most Peninsula restaurants only gesture at. Green Olive is a working olive grove and smallholding on the Red Hill ridge, and the on-site kitchen has built one of the more underrated long-lunch propositions in the area. The menu is produce-driven in a genuine way, the olives and oils come from the grove itself, the vegetables from the kitchen garden, and the wood oven runs through most of the mains. Grazing boards for the middle of the day; slow-cooked lamb and whole fish for a proper sit-down. Photo · Two Palms Australia, courtesy of Visit Victoria The setting is the other reason to come. The dining room spills out into the grove and on a spring lunch with the trees in shade and the oil tasting still on the table, it feels as close to a Mediterranean smallholding as the Peninsula gets. The estate oil is excellent and available for purchase, take a bottle home. Go for a long lunch on a sunny Sunday. Buy a bottle of the estate olive oil on the way out. Worth knowing **Best for** Long lunches · Local produce · Food lovers · Scenic views If you only do one thing Go on a spring Sunday, sit outside under the grove, order the wood-fired lamb, and take home a bottle of the estate oil.

A day built around four producer visits, with a clean route, a small lunch, and the cooler bag full by sundown.
