Restaurant

Poachers was built on the love of good food and sharing it with family and friends. The Smokehouse Restaurant provides the perfect place to celebrate with family or catch up with friends in amongst a relaxed country landscape.

The Food

The Smokehouse Restaurant is in the heart of the property. The menu focuses on seasonal, regional produce and wines that come from the Poachers vineyard that surround the restaurant. We use organic ingredients from our kitchen garden; the herbs and vegetables are picked fresh and delivered straight to the kitchen.

The meats that we cure and smoke regularly feature on our menus and are available for you to enjoy as part of our picnicking experience, where you can sit back and relax in the restaurant gardens.

Our menu is constantly changing so that we can use local ingredients that are at their best.

Serving Smokehouse platters and wine tasting flights to enjoy Monday to Sunday. Thursday to Sunday we offer a delicious seasonal 2 or 3 course lunch menu from 11.45am.

We now offer a dinner seating, from 5:30pm on Fridays. The menu includes share plates large and small and Smokehouse platters, accompanied by Poachers Vineyard wines, local beers and Spring-inspired cocktails.

We recommend booking your table your visit to the restaurant.

Outstanding charcuterie and cheese platters in gorgeous country setting. You can also take away many of their on site smoked chicken and meat. One of the absolute highlights of our visit to Canberra.

If you haven’t been, what are you waiting? What a delightful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Lunch was delicious and the service was wonderful. We ate our main course inside and enjoyed our dessert on the terrace. We were so engaged with our experience, we didn’t even stop to take a photo 😂

The Wine List

Our wine list is exclusively the Poachers Vineyard that are grown on the hills that surround the restaurant. Our region is renowned for its cool climate wines due its location on the edge of the Brindabella mountain range. The delicate yet complex flavours of our wines are a result of the vineyard and the craftsmanship of our wine makers.

A seated tasting flight can be booked in the Smokehouse Restaurant for $15 per person.
