If a delicious meal is on your mind, look no further than The Restaurant at Cassegrain. Conveniently located inside the Cassegrain Wines, this is the perfect place to visit for an afternoon lunch after a morning of exploring the vineyards. Here you can enjoy sublime cuisine that is sought to be some of the best that Port Macquarie has to offer. For a delicious main we suggest the char-grilled succulent 300 gram eye fillet steak accompanied by half shell Moreton Bay Bugs topped with a garlic and white wine sauce. This dish is served with seasonal green vegetables and pairs perfectly with a glass of Stone Circle Merlot.
