Lolli Redini was established in 2001 by acclaimed chef Simonn Hawke, and is known as the locals’ go-to restaurant for any special occasion. The restaurant has retained a coveted chef’s hat since 2001 and is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The team has put together a superb wine list that showcases the best of the local cool climate wines Orange has on offer. Lolli’s is a ‘special occasion’ venue and with its starched tablecloths, showcase blooms and fine art, it feels decadent from start to finish, without being too prim. With a commitment to local produce, the seasonal menu has the odd French and Italian twist, while the curated wine list brims with classic and emerging local and global drops. Hint: The twice-baked Heidi Gruyere cheese soufflé has never been dropped from the menu for fear of a revolt of the dining public. Book ahead.
