Restaurant - Falls Creek


The 'New' taste of the Australian High Country:



"Every meal should be a memorable experience, as a five year old I cooked my first chocolate pudding, though it was a small feat, I still recall this as my first culinary triumph. Today I am fortunate enough to have exceptional seasonal produce at my fingertips, having gained experience and learning from many talented chefs during my travels , I now combine my dedication to fresh produce with authentic and innovative cuisine to produce honest, flavoursome food
- Summit Ridge Head Chef : Michael Newby
