4.9
(457)
A boutique family owned gastronomic restaurant on the South Coast of NSW. We offer a 3 course lunch & dinner menu ($110pp) with optional wine pairing ($50pp).
Head Chef Matteo Ponti brings close to two decades of experience shaped by his roots in the Italian countryside and a global culinary journey. Originally from Piedmont, Matteo earned his first Michelin star at the age of thirty while leading a contemporary Italian kitchen in Singapore, where he spent a decade refining his craft.
His menu at Mimosa is more than a collection of dishes — it's a personal journey. From the traditions of rural Italy, through the vibrant markets of Southeast Asia, to the native produce of the South Coast of NSW, each plate tells a story of season, memory, and travel. With a deep respect for nature and sustainability, Matteo reimagines Italian cuisine through a modern lens, honouring both humble and premium ingredients with the same reverence.

Dulcie’s has a long bar to sit at, a beer garden to hang in, a fireplace to warm up next to. All of our menus consider local produce and the atmosphere we aim to create is cosy, fun and comfortable.
