Crittenden Restaurant
A winery restaurant on the lake at Dromana, looking over the vineyard.
Seasonal Mornington Peninsula produce
Come for a relaxed lunch or dinner, with Crittenden wines at the heart of it. The menu changes as the produce does, and much of it is cooked over the wood-fired Josper grill.
Order à la carte, or choose the Seasonal Shared Menu for the whole table. Sit inside, or out on the covered deck over the lake.

Dining questions
Do I need to book?

Is there a menu for groups?
Yes. Tables of eight to 16 share the Seasonal Shared Menu, $110 a person. For 17 or more, see Functions.
Can we bring children?
Yes, families are very welcome. Children under 13 can order from the Little Critters menu for $25. Count them in your booking, tell us their ages, and ask for a highchair if you need one.
Can you cater for dietaries?
Yes. Tell us when you book, or at least 72 hours before, so the kitchen can plan. Our kitchen works with a wide range of ingredients, so we can’t guarantee a meal is completely allergen free.

Yes. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice for up to seven guests, or 72 hours for eight or more. Your card is only charged for late changes and no-shows, as set out in our booking terms.
Are there surcharges?
Yes. We add 5% on Saturdays, 10% on Sundays and 18% on public holidays.
Is the restaurant accessible?
Yes. There’s step-free access from the accessible car park and out to the deck, a wide entry, solid flooring, and an accessible toilet with left-hand transfer and baby change. More on our accessibility page.
Is there parking?
Yes. There’s parking on site, with accessible bays and two EV chargers.
Are dogs welcome?
While we love our furry friends, we ask that you please keep yours at home. Assistance animals are welcome.
