Mietta's Review
A winery cafe in the Yarra Valley with vineyard views from the sunny deck. Vineyard platters for you to pick at while sampling wines or more substantial (mostly) Mediterranean inspired lunch dishes are available. Attractive situation and helpfull staff.
Other published opinions
Age Good Food Guide 2009 "In both decor and food, Shantell mixes conservative and modern elements easily and with flair"
Age Good Food Guide 2008 "Yarra Valley views, vines sprawling almost within reach of the outdoor dining area, Fijian ornamental weaponry on the wall? Shantell meets expectations of a Yarra Valley restaurant and adds individual touches in both decor and dishes"
The Age Good Food Guide 2006 "Bellbirds provide the soundtrack at this sunlit vineyard, blessedly cocooned from Yarra Valley's tour-bus trade. Shantell's menu admirably fulfils its modest ambitions, offering comfort over complexity."
The Age Good Food Guide 2005 "SOME cellar doors make sitting down for food almost irresistible. Shantell's gorgeous outlook and fresh, art-dotted dining room are reason enough to linger. Satisfying lunches offer still more incentive"
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "IN clement weather, sit on Shantell's sun-drenched deck with views to 25-year-old vines. Sample select tastings of local wines and share the platter of house-made produce, or opt for lunch mains."
The Age Cheap Eats 2004 "THIS shimmering winery restaurant floats like a cloud over curling vines, making it hard to keep your mind on the great indoors. But the menu draws you back with a concise but appetising range of dishes"
