Lake House Restaurant

Lake House Daylesford, set on the edge of Lake Daylesford in Victoria, is one of Australia’s most celebrated regional dining destinations. Founded by Alla and Allan Wolf-Tasker, the restaurant has become a benchmark for country hospitality elevated to luxury standards, seamlessly blending culinary craft, design, and a strong sense of place.

The setting is both tranquil and sophisticated. Interiors frame views of the lake and surrounding gardens, while artworks from local and national artists punctuate the dining rooms. The atmosphere is one of cultivated warmth – polished yet grounded, reflecting the property’s evolution from family vision to an institution of Australian dining.

The culinary philosophy is anchored in local produce. The restaurant works closely with regional farmers, growers, and foragers to create menus that shift with the seasons. Ingredients are treated with respect and flair, with dishes that are intricate without being overworked. The wine cellar, one of the country’s best, offers an expansive collection that champions both Australian and international labels, with staff on hand to guide guests through thoughtful pairings.

Lake House is more than a restaurant; it is part of a larger retreat that includes luxury accommodation and a spa, creating a holistic destination for food, rest, and restoration. Yet the dining room remains its heart, embodying the spirit of generosity and creativity that has shaped its legacy.

With its dedication to provenance, service and artistry, Lake House Daylesford continues to define what regional fine dining in Australia can be – authentic, ambitious and deeply memorable.
