We had a lovely lunch at Morning Sun! It was our first time visiting, and we were so impressed with the whole experience. There was a fantastic range of food and drinks to choose from. We loved the Chef’s Choice menu at $59 per person, with the option to add dessert and drinks. All the dishes we tried were delicious, and we thought the selection was excellent. The views were amazing, even though we weren’t seated directly on the balcony. We were also lucky enough to have perfect weather, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

Mornington

About the restaurant

Housed in a beautifully reimagined grain store just steps from Mornington’s Main Street, Wildgrain Mornington is a restaurant and bar built on a deep respect for the land, a love of quality produce, good local wine, and genuine connection.
Curated by Head Chef Leo Howard, our menus evolve with the seasons, celebrating a seed-to-plate philosophy. Much of our produce is organically grown on our own farm, and we work closely with local suppliers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability.

Whether you’re gathering for a quiet dinner, a long lunch, or a special celebration, Wildgrain Mornington offers a collection of beautiful, inviting spaces designed for connection and lasting memories — beside the fireplace, at the cocktail bar, nestled into a velvet banquette, or amongst the leafy greenery of our open-air, fully covered Greenhouse.

First time visiting Manny Little! What a gorgeous little gem on the peninsula. We came for my husbands birthday dinner, drinks was lovely and food was sensational. Not sure if they were understaffed, but took a while to get another round of drinks, for plates to be cleared and the mains to be brought out. But otherwise, a 10/10 experience. We will be back!

We were greeted straight away as we walked in. Immediately was seated at our table. Got our drinks order in and then after our food order. Both came out super fast and everything was super delicious. Thank you The Epicurean for a nice dinner. We will be back! 😊
