Granton

About the restaurant

Beautiful restaurant with stunning Derwent River & vineyard views.
The original Shed was built on the Mt Nassau property in the early 1900's and met with it's demise in the 1967 bushfires. Built to replace the original Sheds were a Tractor and Shearing shed.
In 2021 work began on "The Shed" Restaurant which has been built in the exact same footprint as the original Sheds and some of the wood from the old Shed were used to make the table bases.
With our incredible head Chef Andrew Russell and our Restaurant Manager Jessica Johnson leading our team of wine and food experts, there is no better spot to sit and enjoy an amazing meal with awards winning wine.

A really great little bistro restaurant with a smart modern vibe… would stand up well against some of Melbournes best bistros . food was excellent and well presented … great service from a friendly welcoming staff. It is a shared menu concept… so best for at least two ! Amazing T-bone /wagu steak and whole fish but served whole,so a bit much for a single dinner! Oh , and as others have mentioned YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE BREAD.. it’s a must

Food looked amazing and was quite filling. Taste of food was not as good as it looked - was nice but some flavours could’ve been elevated more I think. Chicken was cooked to perfection and leeks melted in your mouth.
