Eleonore's Yarra Valley

Eleonore's sits on the Melba Highway, directly adjacent to the vineyards of Domaine Chandon. The restaurant holds one hat from the Australian Good Food Guide.

While the surrounding Yarra Valley is packed with casual cellar doors and lunch spots, Eleonore's demands a more deliberate pace. The room runs smart, trading the relaxed, picnic-style aesthetic of the neighbouring valley wineries for a more formal approach to Modern French cooking. Choosing this table over the busier options down the road is a choice to trade rustic informality for a structured, creative menu. It sits a twenty-minute walk from the local ice creamery, yet it feels entirely detached from the day-trip crowds. This is the place for a slow, considered dinner rather than a hurried glass of wine between tastings.
