The restaurant

Long lunches, fireside dinners

A set four-course menu, Italian in style, cooked by our Italian-trained chef with vegetables from the garden and milk from the Malu cows.

Indulge yourself

Into the afternoon

Indulge yourself in the Malu restaurant, with long lunches stretching into the afternoon.

Tables are laid under the thatch, open to the garden, or out on the lawn in the shade of an old tree. Nobody hurries you; the afternoon is there to be spent at the table.

Our Italian-trained chef uses the finest, freshest ingredients, much of it grown or raised here at Malu.

In the evening

By the blazing fire

In the evening, relax by the blazing fire while our Italian-trained chef prepares a beautiful meal.

There is a set four-course menu, Italian in style: hand-made pasta, fresh mozzarella, and rosemary focaccia straight from the oven.
