Terroir Auburn

Came for dinner on the recommendation of the host at a wine tasting (we *are* in Clare Valley) and couldn't have found a better spot. This is a real foodie's restaurant and everything was so tasty. Not to mention the great friendly service. A perfect night out.

We had the 4 course degustation and the standard was exceptional. The presentation was beautiful and the subtle flavours were so well balanced. The chef's use of local fresh produce makes all the difference. The value for money is unmatched. $79 for 4 courses. If you are in the Clare for dinner don't go anywhere else.

Stayed in the accommodation and it was very well decorated and comfortable. The owners have obviously put time and effort and care into their establishment to make sure their guests have an enjoyable experience. This is good to see that there are still some accommodations providers really putting in effort. The building itself was very quaint and had a lot of character. Would definitely recommend it if you were looking to stop in Auburn.

Unexpected gem! One of the best restaurant I have been in a while. Creative food, cooked with fresh veggies from their garden. They were able to accomodate one of our vegetarian guest last minute and it was one of the best dishes they’ve ever had.
Also great atmosphere and good wine list.

Situated in an old grocery store on the side of the main Street is this quaint restaurant with accommodation. Honest seasonal tasting menu with 4 courses and optional wine pairing though there is a good wine list too.

9/11/23 Great place for dinner with excellent service and exceptional food.
Attached accomodation was very clean and comfortable. Proprietor and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Amazing food, amazing service, excellent location. A true gem in the Clare Valley and should be a must visit for both tourists and locals

Had a great fine dining experience for our wedding anniversary weekend. Terroir in Auburn has loads of rustic charm and appeal. The food was amazing and they take pride in sourcing and supporting local produce. The wine list was comprehensive and the staff were friendly. A perfect night out for our anniversary.

Attached is today's dinner menu from Terroir at Auburn. The food is mostly locally sourced and the menu changes daily.
The 3 courses were light, innovative and had great flavour pairings. The drinks menu was extensive, interesting and included a large section of non-alcoholic drinks.
Service was excellent and the meal was good value for money.
We would definitely return.

In line with other reviews, the dining experience was superb. Even the home made bread to start was a treat, but only a prequel to the amazing entree freshly harvested from the garden, the sand whiting and pea agnolotti, the superb beef and the amazing parfait for dessert. All served with lovely wines and a spirit of generosity. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Clare Valley.

Using all of their own grown produce and locally sourced protein, the creativity of each dish was truly admirable! $79 for a 4 course dinner that provides great variety, you can’t ask for better! Would definitely recommend to family and friends who visit Clare. Thank you for having us!

The food is like nothing else you will experience in the valley. The combination of unique ingredients is an experience for the senses. Everytime I look at the menu I’m unsure of what to expect but the combinations are faultless! Amazing! Wood fire going is amazing for cozy winter dining with all the fine dining trimmings.

We had a table of six for the local appreciation night. Thank you Terrior for a very pleasant night with friends. The service was very professional yet friendly, the dishes presented well, and tasted even better.

I felt absolutely terrible for mixing up my dinner booking and the owner was super understanding and kind enough to cancel our dinner booking last minute. Will have to come back and taste the amazing food everyone is raving about for sure! We are staying at the cottage at the back it's super cozy. Highly recommended to everyone who wants to stay in auburn /clare region.

My husband and I dined at Terroir Auburn for the second time last evening. One of the best dining experiences in Australia to date. Everything was perfectly curated and unbelievably delicious. Every single dish that came out was meticulously made with such an incredible eye for detail. The staff were all excellent and very intuitive—such a wonderful place for a special occasion. Highly recommend.

Great, imaginative food and well chosen accompanying wines, with friendly service, in a beautiful little country town.

A perfect end to a day wine-tasting in the Clare Valley. From the moment Declan opened the door to us, we were well-looked after and the introductory chickpea churro set the lofty standard that would be sustained all evening. A dietary difference accommodated with the minimum of fuss, we two couples enjoyed the four courses, each of which contained originality and innovation of taste, texture and colour, well balanced and considered - and our wine choices were a sublime match to our food. The entire package of food, wine, atmosphere and service combined wonderfully into an evening we will be returning to experience again.

Terroir Auburn is a special place to visit and perfect for a couple indulgence. Booked in for an anniversary dinner plus accommodation and loved our experience.
Dinner was fabulous with a four course meal that we had with the paired wine selections. The chef prepared meals were beautifully presented and were absolutely bursting with flavours. Approximately 8 tables catered for the guests and it was pleasing to see a small business fill up (booking is essential).
The cottages at the back of the property were lovingly fitted out and ours was clean, spacious and well appointed. This included a prepared pot belly fire and a large bathroom with an enormous shower head. Each cottage has its own driveway and it was very quiet overnight. Checkout time was 11am and it was a very simple, no fuss checking in and out process.
Slight points for improvement was a water leak from the toilet, a 'talkative' fridge appliance and no decent comfortable pillows (suggest bring your favourite).

We went for the locavore evening on a Wednesday night. A set menu focussing on locally sourced food. 3 courses and you have a choice between 2 for each course.
All the food was brilliant. The 2 of us shared so we had a chance to try everything. They have an extensive local wine list.
All very good.
Lovely ambience in the old building.
Special mention to the 2 lovely staff who served us.

I came down to Clare and Balaklava a week for work h last month.
First time I sat out side for one hour and I was advised they were fully booked out.
So I immediately booked in a month, which is today why I have these photos to share with you.

Firstly, let’s talk about his attitude. when I was notified that they were booked out last time, I could feel that Dan said no to me because he wanted to treat other guests well without any compromise.

Then let’s talk about the dishes. I would say this is the best dining experience in my journey in Australia. You read menu, but you never know how they taste. It is beyond your imagination. Strongly suggest to come and experience by yourself.

Like the comment below by Dan, he would appreciate your constructive feedback. I think that’s because they treat the food and costumers well. It’s not arrogant. It’s just being honest.

Experience this by yourself and you will know what I mean.
