Porcupine Village is from a bygone era but we are proud to offer you a menu which is contemporary and modern Australian. Our desire is to offer you a dining experience to be remembered.
We source almost all of our fresh and seasonal produce locally and forage daily from our own organic kitchen garden located next to the restaurant. Only the best is acceptable here. Our staff are all locals and are passionate about food and beverage service being of a high standard.
We hope you enjoy yourself and will want to come back time after time, and recommend us to your family and friends.
