| Fortnums offers delightful English-style sophistication in a true-blue Aussie setting. The restaurant is set in a light and airy conservatory space with floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors opening out onto a verandah. The evocative image of an English country manor is interrupted by the majestic outlook over the Dandenong Ranges, the sight of lush native flora, or even a colourful lorikeet swooping past to perch in the garden. The menu is a similar blend of Pommie classics and modern Australian meals, from a fisherman's lunch of Australian seafood to a ploughman's lunch - complete with pickled onions and plenty of cheeses. For a sweeter slice of the old country, indulge in the Devonshire scones with jam and cream, washed down with a fragrant cuppa - made with loose-leaf tea, of course.
