Orana

Adelaide SA 5000 Australian - Terry Durack in The Sydney Morning Herald waxes lyrical:

Australian cuisine can only ever happen when chefs go out and get their hands dirty, and forget the bush tucker slang and white-man attitude – this is cooking as an act of reconciliation. Coorong mulloway with native cherries and sea parsley, delicate Adelaide Hills marron with mountain pepper and sea blight; and cured wagyu brisket with riberries are as much about harmony and grace as they are about provenance. A revelation.

Reviews & Notes	"... this is a really lovely, adventurous dinner, not a bushfoods freak show .. Set-price" - Aug 23 2014; "If ever the caveat “not for everyone” applied, Orana would plead “yes, guilty”. One cannot help but admire its singular, almost fanatical pursuit of an individual, modern cuisine built around indigenous Australian ingredients." 22/8/14

Reviews & Notes	"A thrilling adventure from start to finish in a menu that shows off Australia's native ingredients like never before."
Reviewer	Simon Wilkinson - The Advertiser 4/11/14
Reviews & Notes	"For me, there are two issues. One, Orana launches almost the entire panoply of indigenous ingredients on to one menu, and some of these, such as Geraldton wax, need to be used really carefully. The other is the interface with chefs, who deliver food. Some are more humble than others."
