About the restaurant

Located in The Crocodile Hunter Lodge, Warrior Restaurant & Bar is a unique dining experience you won’t want to miss. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, our menu’s identity is derived from the classical techniques of the world with the modernisation that is Australian cooking. Recipes are influenced by the unique produce that Australia has to offer, in a celebration of our region. The Chefs at Warrior spend their time sourcing beautiful local ingredients to create these dishes. Paying homage to the First Nation people and the plant life they have been utilising for thousands of years, we at Warrior endeavour to take these earthy flavours and pair them with the fresh produce of our neighbouring farms.

About the restaurant

Passion for food and love of all things Italian is what inspired Basil & Vine Café.
The Fargnoli family believe food is central to our Italian way of life and large family meals are customary in our household - Meals are relaxed affairs enjoying each other’s company and the sense of community.
Traditionally Italian dishes are made with simple ingredients that can be made or procured inexpensively such as pasta, bread, cheese, olive oil and tomatoes. Italian cuisine is all about using quality ingredients well and not so much about fancy cooking techniques.
