It's been an exciting year for The Long Table team lately with great recognition appearing in The Age Good Food Guide, Gourmet Traveller and others.
Here's what some have been saying ...
Hats doffed to Red hot restaurants...
By Adam Carey"COLLABORATING is sometimes better than competing. Look no further than the tiny hamlet of Red Hill South, Victoria's latest and brightest epicurean star.
Three restaurants in the tight-knit Mornington Peninsula town were awarded a hat in the 2012 edition of The Age Good Food Guide, a distinction no other town in the state can claim, not even noted gourmet hot spots Kyneton, Daylesford and Beechworth ..."

Victoria's Mornington Peninsula,
Gourmet Traveller....
Red Hill is something of an epicentre for artisan food activity on the Peninsula. It’s host to one of the longest running community markets in the state, a bustling, colourful and slightly chaotic hive of activity that’s been flying the “make it, bake it, grow it or breed it” flag on the first Saturday of the month for more than 30 years. It’s also the location of The Long Table, an excellent, buzzing restaurant ... Spend a Friday night here feasting on dishes such as house-smoked tuna teamed with watermelon, olives and Flinders Farm cherry tomatoes and you’re bound to see a small parade of local winemakers and other producers who seem to have made it a de facto clubhouse.

"...We work up a hunger feasting on the view and head back into town for lunch at The Long Table. The restaurant looks modest enough, but the food is anything but. The kingfish – with black bean caramel served alongside in a little plastic tube – is brilliant. The gnocchi with gruyere is so good I almost cry when it’s finished. Luckily, dessert follows; maple sugar parfait with milk chocolate delice, salty biscuit crumbs and shards of dark, aerated chocolate.
Long Table is Red Hill’s answer to Ben Shrewry’s much-lauded Melbourne restaurant Attica; go. And Red Hill itself is the answer for anyone wanting a taste of the good life. Go."

"The Long Table, a smart, contemporary restaurant at Red Hill, mightn't have water views but it certainly floated our boat."
