点评:If Bacchus had a penchant for Aussie Pinot and sweeping sculpture gardens, he’d have reserved a table at Pt Leo Estate. I arrived with my lovely, expecting yet another overhyped peninsula lunch. I left full, gloriously smug, and dangerously close to declaring it one of the best meals this side of Portsea.
The entrance, naturally, was pretentious – definitely fit for the 'Gram. Inside, though, it’s all elegant timber, artful lighting, and views that made my dining companion gasp audibly. (She does that when the food’s late, too.)
We began not with food but with strawberry Bellinis – frothy, frivolous, and utterly fabulous. The kind of drink that makes you forget your mortgage and start browsing local real estate. Perfectly chilled, dangerously drinkable, and served with a smile that said, yes, you do deserve this.
Then came the mains: a wood-fired snapper with skin crisped to golden perfection, its flesh flaking apart like a well-written contract. Sublime. But it was the beef eye fillet that stole the show – tender, unapologetically rich, and cooked with the kind of precision you’d expect from a Swiss watchmaker moonlighting as a grill master. It came with a jus so decadent I considered bottling it.
The staff, wonderfully youthful and chipper, kept refilling my glass like I was royalty. I didn’t discourage them.
My verdict: Worth every ridiculous cent.

餐厅的入口自然是装腔作势的——绝对能装进“奶奶”的嘴里。不过,餐厅内部却充满了优雅的木材、巧妙的灯光和令人叹为观止的景色,让我的同伴不禁发出惊叹声。(当食物迟到时,她也会这样。)
我们不是点了食物,而是点了草莓贝利尼——泡沫丰富,口感轻盈,绝对美味。这种酒会让你忘记抵押贷款,开始浏览当地的房地产信息。冰镇得恰到好处,入口即化,服务生的笑容仿佛在说,是的,你值得拥有。
接下来是主菜:一条用木柴烤制的鲷鱼,鱼皮金黄酥脆,鱼肉像一份精心准备的合同一样层层叠叠。简直绝了。但真正抢尽风头的是牛眼肉——鲜嫩多汁,浓郁醇厚,烹饪的精准程度堪比一位兼职烧烤大师的瑞士钟表匠。配上浓郁的肉汁,我差点想把它装瓶。
店员们年轻又热情,不停地给我续杯,就像我是皇室成员一样。我并没有阻止他们。
我的结论:物超所值。
