Stella's Kitchen

Adam was excellent - The food was delicious and the coffee was great. Will be coming back again soon

Adam, John and the team always do a sensational job of looking after their guests in the beautiful surrounds of the apple orchard and Lysterfield park.

Great food, great service and a great view.

Do yourself a favour and get down there for breakfast or lunch and take a stroll to walk it off in the parks nearby.

Great place and not too far from the city, food is really good but takes a while before it gets to your table. Apple juice is a must.

Discovered this place so close to home, delicious food and wonderful service! You must try the scones with in house jam, so good.

I wouldn't go there again. Overpriced for what it is. The food was good. The service was soo slow. The owner was very nice. Just not worth the drive.

Great food, excellent wine list and conveniently located for a beautiful stroll after you finish your meal.
New local fav.

Oh WOW! We saw this place on Instagram and decided we had to go.
What a beautiful location this restaurant is set in.
Trees everywhere on a long dusty road we felt like we were in the the heart of small country town.
From the moment we walked into Stella’s Kitchen we knew we were going to have a wonderful afternoon.
The soft music played outside was perfect for an afternoon delight.
The menu choices was plenty and our tastebuds were excited.
We absolutely loved our choices and can’t wait to go back again.
Spoil yourself take your friends great place to bring the family.

Beautiful location and views. Unfortunately my poached eggs were cold this morning - not quite sure how that happens? !? Not the first time I’ve been disappointed eating here. Shame because this place could really be five stars

Looks fency and expensive. Surcharges for Sunday. And do not serve launch menu after 3 because they close at 4. But is not mentioned anywhere. So. Imagine after a 3h of bike ride we planned to have a launch and then get on padle board. Hihi all plans turned upside down.

I think management need to look in to change the rules or make the public.

Definitely will come back packed with food and drinks. So basically a big No No.

Amazing food! Service was great, and the location/scenery is beautiful. The Pulled pork 'specials' burger was so good.

Very disappointed, looked lovely on arrival unfortunately waited over 15 mins just to get a menu then waited over an hour for an over priced underwhelming steak sandwich in a restaurant that wasnt even half full, staff apologised and told us we wouldnt have to pay the Sunday surcharge, what a joke!

What a little gem. Food is wonderful the staff excellent and a beautiful location. Everyone should visit at least once.

Both our meals were enjoyed very much. The quality first rate. Staff were nice and friendly. Only minor criticism was slow time to receive meal and drinks, but was worth the wait. Took wife there for her birthday lunch which she enjoyed very much

Stella’s Kitchen is located on the iconic Montague Estate in Narre Warren Sth, near Lysterfield Park (where the access point to mountain bike trails are).

The premises itself is modern, light and sits comfortably in the natural landscape with sweeping views overlooking the apple orchards.

There’s ample parking onsite, plenty of indoor and outdoor dining and takeaway options as well as a fabulous produce store selling providore items, gifts, apple cider and juice, together with a wide variety of the apples and seasonal fruits, fresh from Montague’s orchard. We tried some of the Montague Envy apples and plums, which were delicious!

We dined in for brunch, just before 11am. The restaurant was busy, but we were greeted within minutes and promptly seated. The waitress pre-warned us that the kitchen was short staffed and there would be a wait for our meals and coffee, which didn’t bother us.

The coffees arrived within half and hour (they were spot on) and the meals were delayed as expected, but communication from our waitress was excellent and she offered a free drink while we waited. We enjoyed a house sparkling apple juice, which was refreshing and super tasty.

The meals themselves were well executed and presented, despite the kitchen being short staffed (it didn’t impact on the quality and presentation of our meals). The mushrooms and smashed avo were delicious and the eggs cooked to perfection!

The amenities were clean and well stocked and everyone was friendly, helpful and professional.

We can’t wait to return to try the dinner menu.

Coffee is great, views are great. If you want to have a good customer service experience its a fat 0.

Imagine coming in after a long MTB ride and being treated as though you’re a burden just standing in their presence.

Serious customer service training is required

The Baked Salmon was over cooked and the whole meal was quite dry. It was definitely not worth the price.
All the protein in our other meals was also so overcooked and dry.
The broccolini that came out with the chicken scallopini was supposed to be grilled but was cold so came straight out of a fridge.
We did enjoy the fresh apple salad with the calamari. The drinks were also priced well and tasty.
I would probably not recommend this restaurant based on value and quality of the food.

Other than 1-2 things that were in the oven while speeches were happening the food was excellent qnd drinks well made

Visited here for the first time. Lovely place with great ambience, lovely staff and great food options.ample space to accommodate large gatherings with indoor n outdoor sitting, great fresh produce store next door as well with wide range of fresh veggies n fruits and other ornamental stuff.

This is a beautiful space.the menu has great options. The apple scones were divine. Has a great gift shop too. The view from the restaurant would be beautiful weather permitting. Was there on a rainy and cloudy day sadly.

Stunning restaurant in a beautiful setting.
Love the unique recipes and the fact that they use produce from their own orchards. The shop also never disappoints.
