Thank you delicious. Australia for highlighting our little bellingenshire in the top 60 regional restaurants to visit!

We are so overwhelmed and happy with the response and feedback from the community & we are so grateful to be already seeing “familiar faces” !

Swipe to see some of the diners comments from the last week as well as some of the dishes we did!

Have you booked in your dining experience yet?

There were a few beautiful things we noticed in the dining room over the last week. From watching people running their hands along the texture of the handmade tables, to hearing the comments on the comfy chairs, seeing people sit and admire the handcrafted crockery (thanks GRIT CERAMICS and ) and smiling gratefully to have a hot towel to freshen up after their snacks.

To everyone who takes a moment to comment on the details, thank you! We are very grateful! ☺️

An absolute highlight this was this cured Nautical Wholesale Seafood line caught with tomato escabeche.. the sauce was insane and it all paired perfectly with ChaLou | Orange W**ery + Cellar Door Sauvignon Blanc!

NORTHERN RIVERS DUCKS confit leg rillette with spring onion and a hoisin-esque broth (duck pancakes anyone?) this was paired with FrOnT•LeFt•WiNeS 🍇 🍷 Redback Rosé from Mudgee! Spectacular!

And this flavourful and unique “risotto”… finely diced celeriac and potato with grilled leek, creamed spinach and housemade ricotta! So light and fresh and made for a fun pairing with Samantha May W**es franc!

What’s not shown is our bread and snacks, our first individual course and the beautiful Bello Beef we served (random cuts were cooked and served across the weekend. From the girello to the chuck shoulder and the eye fillet!…. We are slowly making our way through the cow!) The beef was cooked and served with roasted turnips and a “Dianne” sauce.

Ok… we’ve been open 3 weeks so we thought it’s time to introduce our Happy Hour! Thursday and Friday from 4pm! You know you deserve Oysters and Martinis! Angelica Nohra will also choose random w**es each week for happy hour! Walk ins only…. There will also be samples of our new cocktails we are experimenting with to get some feedback so it’s definitely a time to come by! Don’t come expecting a full meal though, just oysters, charcuterie & bread are served during happy hour!

Spring has definitely sprung!! From Farm Fresh Pork & Produce nasturtium “money bags” to housemade cavatelli with Robyn Davies ‘s pasta, was the theme of this week’s menu! A big highlight was the Near River Produce Meyer lemon “scallop” with Dean Williams smoked trout and Darkwood Farm !

Dylan Cashman was very excited to introduce one of his favourite dishes, the “banh mi” to our new home! So thank you Farm Fresh Pork & Produce for the amazing pork!

We also used Near River Produce Meyer Lemon to make a lemon curd cheesecake and meringue which we were told multiple times was the “best dessert ever”! I mean, who doesn’t love a lemon cheesecake?

Each week, guests who book into our 7-course tasting menu are treated to an array of flavourful dishes thanks to our local farmers! Have you booked yet?

We only buy local, pasture raised & whole animals here at The Blue Door! Want to see what we do with each cut of Farm Fresh Pork & Produce ? Watch until the end!!

Probably not the best for our vegetarian friends but you might also find it quite interesting… do not fear though, we have you covered with loads of no-till, organic vegetables from some small growers in the region!

Dylan Cashman and the team do everything in house! The butcher, baker and candlestick makers!

Another week down at The Blue Door | Hyper producer-focused restaurant ! Some favs for this week! First up: gochujang dressed Bello Beef tartare with fried mushroom and broccoli flowers, Dorrigo potato parve with potato pureé and a smoked fish bone gravy, Farm Fresh Pork & Produce loin with broad beans and broadbean flowers and pork sauce (pea and ham soup anyone?), finally, 14hour smoked Brisket from the wonderful Bello Beef body! We attempt to honour each cut of beef in its best light and what better way to showcase brisket than to smoke it? Also, add on some beetroot nuggets? Yes please!

If you haven’t booked into our 7-course tasting menu yet, what’s stopping you?! Delicious, local and highly nutritious food is waiting for you!

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to eat with us over our first weekend! It was incredible to be back in a buzzing dining room! Thank you especially to everyone for their patience while we got our head around the first service 😛 what a rush! Thank you to our brand new team for giving it all as well!

Now, what was on the menu? Well, we had to open with our “cheeseburger” Bello Beef tartare which was paired with De Beaurepaire W**es from .

Next, Nautical Wholesale Seafood line caught bonito lightly cured with smoked, local, heirloom tomatoes paired with cargo cult fumé blanc from **eregion

3rd, Darkwood Farm with housemade Nduja and ricotta paired with Topper's Mountain W**es | Vineyard, Cellar Door & Events x Blue Door house w**e (Gruner, sauv blanc, Verdejo)

4th, pasta! Smoked Farm Fresh Pork & Produce pork neck and rump with celeriac purée paired with Carla Rodeghiero and Malcolm Burdett sangiovese

Then, NORTHERN RIVERS DUCKS duck breast with broccoli leaves, Wendy Daisies honeymead vineyard and duck sauce paired with Samantha May W**es Cabernet franc (because duck and pinot is boring 😛😜)

What isn’t shown is our snack attack, dessert and petit fours but safe to say, everyone was full and satisfied after it all!

Everything healthy and local! Have you booked in yet?!

Looking for a quick lunch before a concert or event here in ? Pull up a seat at the bar! We have lots of yummy snacks made with regenerative produce from little farmers around the shire and even more delicious and cheeky NSW W**e and cocktails!

See you from 12pm!

[Our w**e bar menu] We’ve had a lot of DMs asking us about what will be on the w**e bar menu…

Gosh, it’s a hard one to answer!! We understand the 7 course tasting menu isn’t an everyday option for everyone but we want to share that same produce in a relaxed environment for you to catch up over a glass (or flight) of w**e!

The w**e bar will be a reflection of what’s on the 7 course tasting menu but there will be some staples like Oysters, Housemade Charcuterie, our housemade bread, croquettes and more! I went through the archives to find some old snacks we did years ago when we did a w**e bar concept in our Sydney blue door space.

Note, the bar area will only begin with 10 seats! It’s set for walk ins but you can book online if you feel more comfortable doing that but it is set mainly for snacks, rather than a whole meal!

Yes, we will cater to dietaries and yes, you can bring your pooch and sit outside (because we love doggos). BUT, if you have a severe dietary and want to have snacks, we’d love for you to give us some notice to ensure you have a wonderful time 🥰

We do hope to see you there!
