Borrodell Vineyard in Orange is brilliant. The wines are good, the location is fantastic, and they also grow their own apples and cherries, make great cider and have a trufferie, growing producing their own black truffles for the restaurant... a must do!
Special occasion at
Sepia
Sepia is my favourite, the menu is always impeccable and the wine matches are spectacular. It will never fail to impress.
Chat Thai is the obvious one I guess, open until 2 am. You can't go past the papaya salad with spiced crab and pork belly - ask for it extra spicy!
