What a great little find in Orange! It was tempting not to do a review so we could keep this gem a…read moresecret for a little longer. We visited Orange for a day trip from Sydney and had lunch at Charred. They have a great wine list and a surprisingly extensive Beer and Cider list. I couldn't go past tasting one of the oatmeal stouts they had on offer (it was the last bottle!) which was a great start to our meal. Their dishes are made for sharing and every single dish we had, I mean every - single - dish - was super delicious. For some reason I've found this pretty rare these days. We started with the chicken liver parfait with elderflower jelly and house baked bread and crackers. The jelly paired wonderfully with the creamy smooth parfait. It was also served with some amazing pickles. I wanted to order every single one of the Medium plates but settled for the pork belly and two bone marrows (you order them per piece). The pork belly was tender and delicious and came with a thai dressing that cut through the fattiness of the pork. The bone marrow was delicious, I spread mine on the their warm home made bread. The parsley and caper salad was a great combination for the marrow. For our main, we skipped the large plates and got the Venison shanks which was one of their specials. There is a local venison farm where the venison is sourced. Oh my. The meat was fall off the bone tender. The sauce was sticky and rich. The serve was huge (they did say the main or large plates were, well, large). We also ordered a side of the moroccan carrots which we probably didn't need as the venison was served with roast carrots and roast potatoes... but then we would have missed out on that gorgeous almond cream. We were so full that we had to take some of the venison and carrots home in a take away container (which the staff were more than happy to oblige). We didn't think we could fit any more in, so decided to just order a *few* doughnuts. What a fabulous meal. I was so happy afterwards that I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear. We were seated near the kitchen and I overheard a group say that they came up from Canberra just to try the restaurant. I would do the same! They bake their own bread and also sell loaves to take home. I couldn't resist taking a loaf home, if only to extend the dining experience. We are already planning a return visit and we'll be bringing some friends with us.

This is more of a foodie experience than what we expected. Although the menu was a set price of $70…read moreper person for 3 courses, the quality of food was amazing and the wine selection the best we ever had. Our only regret was the final bill and that we should have shared a set menu as we could not finish all 3 on our own. If they allowed ordering single menu items or even 2 courses for $50, we may return again :)

The front verandah gives you a great view of coming and going on Dubbo's main business street. As was the case our first visit at the peak of summer, the food servings are very generous. Consider a sharing serve initially and then see how it goes. The beer battered chips are fantastic. Drinks include many craft beer options and, though relatively pricey, are served up with all the information you need and a friendly attitude from the staff. Background music plays all day, and I recommend this restaurant for lunch (as that's when we have visited).

Great ambiance excellent service…read more Coffee is really good! We came on a Sunday morning and hadn't booked, were seated inside and our coffee appeared very quick. The food looks great and smells Devine, alas, we had just had our breakfast and were just in need of coffee. Tables are appropriately spaced inside and out. We definitely will be back and hope to sit outside next time.

A friend recommended this place as she knows I'm a bit of a coffee snob :)…read moreThe place is set out beautifully with lots of seating options inside and outside in a shady courtyard. Five star service and a little pricey but still reasonable. We shared breakfast and there was enough for us both - and they even served it on 2 separate plates for us. The coffee was great - not perfect but I would give it 7/10 for a frothy cappuccino. I'll be back!!

Not sure why there aren't any reviews up, because this lovely place is popular. I would consider…read morethis an upmarket yet understated (read: not posh pants) place, complete with mood lighting, linen manchester, silver service, pretty food and elevated prices. But it's worth it, for a special occasion. A good range of ages were represented and plates were mostly heading back to the kitchen empty. That's got to be a good sign. I enjoyed all three courses, sneaking a taste of a couple of the others on the table. Our table, that is. Not the one next door. Although... the neighbouring table was so close I could have sneaked a morsel from their plate. And the nosy parker did seem inordinately more interested in our conversations than those of her companion. That might be my only criticism. The seating position could be spaced out a little bit more. We left in high spirits, with full bellies and lighter wallets. But we weren't complaining.

As we were in Orange NSW we couldn't think of a better place than Lolli Redini. We have been there before and knew what to expect - good service, warm atmosphere and carefully prepared food . They are consistently voted as a top place to go in the area so we knew we wouldn't be disappointed! I have to tell you I wanted to give them a five star because every bite of our meals were amazing. The way they combine local ingredients to create their dishes is truly a great experience. The only issue we had was we were greeted by someone that had very little experience and although she was trying hard to please, fell short in the beginning . We had to firstly ask for a menu after being seated for quite some time then we had to give our order to another staff member because they were not confident that she had filled out the order form properly - and we heard about the evening special after we already decided on what to have. But these are little things and after that the food made up for it . Okay, three courses for $95.00 is okay for nice food, and my wife ordered different dishes than I so we could switch at the halfway point and get to experience six courses each. My wife chose a Prawn Squid Ink Pasta with Baby Zucchini for starters, Mullaway fillet with Leeks and Spanner Crab Sauce, and a Rhubarb Strawberry Parfait. I chose a Broad Bean and Pea Risotto with Pancetta for starter, Pork belly with celeriac gratin and Granny Smith apple sauce, and pressed chocolate soufflé cake with fresh figs. The Pork Belly and Chocolate cake were stand out items for me but all the food was amazing. Please try it. If you go,try their signature cheese soufflé - it has been a standout there for years but we wanted to try other dishes.
