Many Little

Whether your vibe is craft beers under towering gums or delicately spiced cocktails in the wood-panelled dining room, this refined find delivers. Snacks hide big thrills, especially stuffed chicken wings with peppery heat thanks to lingus sausage rather than chilli, the tingle offset by sour lime pickle and a squiggle of cooling cashew cream.

Cauliflower is amplified with spiced butter, curry leaf and caramelised shallot. But the most joyous moment? Seeing a table-spanning platter of riotously colourful curries headed your way. Sour black pork is fragrant with black pepper and the tang of coconut vinegar, and masala fish is bright and fiery.

Hoppers, the bowl-shaped pancakes, are delicate and lacy vessels, plus you’ll get noodly string hoppers, and distinctive sambols bringing extra hits of shallot or chilli. Many Little would shine anywhere, but in a sometimes predictable winery region, it’s truly unmissable.

Must-order: Hoppers and curry.
