We first dined at Vitners in December 2007. Not much has changed although they seem to be less supportive of local wine makers and more enamored with French and European wines. They are located in the country in the middle of the triangle of Tanunda, Angaston and Nuriootpa.
Carol selects the kingfish ceviche. CJ makes the risky decision for a scallop pie. He need not have been worried. Four gorgeous, perfectly cooked sea scallops inside. Both entrees delicious.
Carol selects prawns as her main course. None of the mains called to CJ so he went with the Scotch Filet. It is perfectly cooked and tasty but you just don't seem to be able to get mouth watering tender beef in Australia; not here, not anywhere.
At Vitners, you pay a fixed price for the number of courses selected. Carol has selected the Tête de Moine, which translated literally as "monk's head". They use a girolle to get those paper-thin rosettes. We know we have one in Florida. For three years it went missing at the Virginia house.
CJ selected the passionfruit soufflé with caramel ice cream. The entire meal is delicious even if the beef is chewy.
Ever mindful of drink driving and the impact it would have on our visa renewal, we take a taxi both ways. The Barossa Valley has managed to keep Uber out.
