Biota Dining (Bowral)

Enroute back to Sydney after a weekend away at the Snowy Mountains, we stopped by at Biota Dining in Bowral for lunch. To ensure we maximised our enjoyment on a warm Sunday afternoon, we went for the 5 course degustation.

The dishes were beautifully presented from start to finish. The smoked trout amuse bouche was quite a treat. (Unfortunately the photos after that were all lost). The sweetness of the raw fresh scampi and the gelatinous of the lamb breast were still afresh in my memory.

Zen Oasis (Berrima)

The family spent a Sunday on a driving journey to Bowral for some tulip viewing, as well as the vegetarian feast at Zen Oasis which is another 20 minute drive south from Bowral.

The word oasis is appropriate because the entire property is beautifully decorated with flowers and stone features, accompanied by very friendly staff. And the buffet lunch is proper and generous. All the dishes were made from fresh vegetables. The crispy seaweed ‘fake eel’ was a revelation, as was the pumpkin dumplings.

Make sure you book way in advance.
