"This fully licensed restaurant is a well-known favourite amongst Buller skiers and is recommended regularly by the "Age Good Food Guide". "

Located just in front of the ski school, it is quite a convenient place to stay and have something good to warm up your tummy. Unfortunately, it is so popular that it was already fully booked for dinner when we called in the day before. We had to try it - the famous Austrian style meal, so we popped up for lunch:


pictures on the wall showing the fearsome fire roaring in mt buller during last summer, and brave fire fighters who had been working hard for 55 days




old style clock


bells




menu - not much choices for lunch though

Joseph Restaurant

Joseph Restaurant, located in Wheelers Hill.

Know about it through the Entertainment book (buy one main free one main) - since it was not near some shopping malls, it is more difficult to be noticed by eaters from other suburb. Anyway, I think the food is good and so is the price:


Even the bread taste good =p


They have many many choices of alcoholic drinks! From cocktails, martini, wines etc - we had this Berried in Chocolate (Chocolate liquer, Kahlua, Baileys, Cream, strawberries) which cost aud11 and love it.



Pork with apple sauce infused with some spices - the omelete look-alike is special and taste like curry =p


closer look - it tastes like the healthy version of the crispy bbq pork - aud26


Medium-rare kangaroo fillet with cameralised pears in red current sauce - aud25.5

Lasi didn't like this as much due to the sweetness which he feel weird - 'Meat must be salty for him' lol. Anyway, the sauce is alright with me, and the kangaroo fillet is just nice - tender in the middle and is really succulent. I guess kangaroo fillet should not be cooked well done - Waichee had hers in Century Inns, Gippsland before and it tasted bitter.


Warm and full stomaches - well prepared for the rainy cold night! =p

Location: In Best Western Wheelers Hill International Motel: Jells Road - Wheelers Hill next to the Wheelers Hill Shopping Centre, halfway between Ferntree Gully Road and Wellington Road.
