Carmel's is a unique restaurant located in the heart of the picturesque McLaren Vale. The Restaurant presents an ever-changing menu focusing on flavours to compliment the extensive wine selection from Marienberg, Fern Hill and the many smaller boutique wineries in McLaren Vale. Our chefs have a philosophy, which is centered on quality, zest and freshness - with a strong commitment to utilizing the best local produce the Fleurieu Peninsula has to offer. The chef's knowledge (and enjoyment) of wine makes the task of harmonizing it with food a joy. The dining area has a light, airy casual feel surrounded by glass concertina doors offering natural light and ambience, and the opportunity on a beautiful day to become an open verandah-style dining area. Carmel's is also the perfect venue for specialised parties or functions not always available at larger function outlets. Carmel's radiates a comfortable, fun & friendly atmosphere which can be enjoyed 31/2 days a week Wednesday 5pm till 8:30pm and Thursday - Sunday 12 till 2:30pm for lunch and 5 till 8:30pm.
