Our dining experiences
Showcasing the best of our region, our set menu is plated sharing style to be enjoyed over several hours with good company. The menu starts with what is growing in our gardens, paired with that from our neighbours and friends across the region.
Prepared by the talented Zin team, the food reflects Kim Currie‘s guiding principles of authenticity, generosity and quality – where food is made from scratch, with both a refined yet simple approach.
It is these details that have found The Zin House awarded One Hat in the SMH Good Food Guide Awards consecutively since 2015.

Book your table
Please Note: Our existing Zin House dining experience will close from 29 Dec 2025. We will be relaunching as Zin Food & Wine from 9 Jan 2026 with a new informal, wine-led grazing experience.
The food & the wine
The menu at Zin always starts with what we grow, as it is the garden that inspires what we cook, and when.
Our kitchen & garden teams work hand in hand to develop a seasonal menu that reflects the whole cycle – what we grow, how we grow it and the impact it has. Reflecting our favourite way to eat, this produce is then prepared across a set menu plated sharing style (we do not do à la carte).
To compliment the flavours of each course, these dishes are then paired with optional matched wines by David Lowe to round out the whole experience.
Both these pairings, and our wine list as a whole, celebrate small Australian producers dedicated to organics & biodynamic, just as we are here at Lowe, as well as our friends & neighbours who honour the quality of this local region.
Our menu changes regularly with season & availability, note the following is an example only.
