When the historic Adelaide Oval was redeveloped, a striking restaurant space was built into the exclusive Audi Stadium Club. As is cricket club tradition, it was intended to be for members only. Lucky for food and wine lovers everywhere, the welcoming folk of Adelaide are very generous. It was decided to open it to the public for dinners five nights a week. And so, a legend in the making was born. The resulting fine dining restaurant Hill of Grace is aptly named – it’s effortlessly graceful, a calm, elegant space where everything happens just so. Also as the name suggests, Hill of Grace is a place of pilgrimage for lovers of South Australia’s world-famous wines. It’s home to the planet’s only complete (and priceless) collection of Henschke’s legendary Hill of Grace shiraz vintages dating from 1958 to now, encased in a glass cabinet lining the main thoroughfare into the restaurant. Hill of Grace is home to an extraordinary South-Australian-only, carefully-curated list of a little over 150 wines. Of course, there’s a brilliant food offering to go with, and it too, is distinctly South Australian. Chef Dennis Leslie uses native fruits and plants alongside flavours from his Asian upbringing and French training. And there is a remarkably good team delivering it all, from the warm yet professional setting- and occasion-appropriate welcome, to the seamless and discreet service, tending to the a la carte or degustation offerings.
