Au Pear

When wining and dining around the Fleurieu Peninsula, stop in at Au Pear in Willunga. Overlooking Gilbert Vineyard, Au Pear combines scenic rolling hillside views with breezy Mediterranean rusticity, resulting in an open space full of textured light and dark wood, polished floors and large white umbrellas shading a sandy al fresco courtyard. Fusing together the defining elements of modern Australian, French and Mediterranean cuisine, Au Pear’s menu offers dishes such as duck a'lorange with carrot croquettes, pickled shallots and glace orange. A locally focussed wine list completes an Au Pair dining experience, alongside a compact yet cleverly crafted dessert menu with plates like spiced wine poached pear, brandy anglaise, date and almond shards.
