Quarters at Hubert Estate

Overview

Quarters at Hubert Estate is a contemporary winery restaurant located in the heart of Coldstream's Yarra Valley wine region. Housed within the Hubert Estate complex, this venue combines accessible, crowd-pleasing Modern Australian cuisine with European influences, rejecting the pretension of traditional fine dining. The restaurant features an open kitchen with a custom-made wood-fired grill and pizza oven, where chefs prepare dishes over wood and charcoal, creating an engaging dining theatre that appeals to visitors of all backgrounds.

Dining Experience & Atmosphere

The restaurant's design resembles a casual beer hall rather than a formal wine establishment, fostering a relaxed and welcoming environment. The open kitchen concept allows diners to observe chefs at work, with the sizzle of the grill and aromas from the pizza oven creating an immersive sensory experience. Seating is available both indoors and outdoors, with vineyard views enhancing the setting. The atmosphere is notably lively during peak hours, particularly at lunch, with professional and accommodating staff ensuring guests feel cared for. The casual, unpretentious approach makes it equally suitable for families with children, couples, and solo diners seeking quality food without formality.

Menu & Cuisine

The menu is intentionally designed for sharing, featuring seasonal small plates, wood-fired pizzas, handmade pasta, and grilled proteins. Signature items include the Hubert's Margherita pizza with San Marzano tomato and fior di latte, spiced fried chicken wings with black garlic aioli, Asian spiced braised pork ribs, hickory smoked chicken, and grass-fed scotch fillet. Vegetarian options include foraged green risotto, baked mushroom with Persian feta, and ancient grain salads. Pizzas offer traditional and contemporary variations, with gluten-free bases and vegan cheese available. Desserts are crafted in-house by the pastry team, including warm chocolate chip cookies, sticky date pudding, and matcha pistachio panna cotta. A dedicated kids menu provides familiar options like penne bolognese, cheeseburgers, and margherita pizzas at fixed pricing.

Beverages & Wine

While Quarters does not exclusively serve St Hubert's wines, it offers a curated selection of wine varietals available by the glass, 500ml, and litre carafe. The wine list includes rosé, with a reserve list available for those seeking premium selections. The bar serves cocktails such as Negroni and Orange & Grapefruit Spritz, spirits including local Starward whisky and Buffalo Trace bourbon, and non-alcoholic options.
