Signature dining at Meridian — five courses, no theatre
Meridian is our chef-hatted dining room — five courses built around Tweed Valley produce, a wine list that prizes small growers, and service that knows when to leave you alone.
Tuesday to Saturday from 6 pm. Bookings essential on weekends; hotel guests get priority tables.
What dinner at Meridian is like
The menu changes with what's good at the farms — Chef Yuki Tanabe drives the Tweed Valley monthly and writes the menu around what she finds. Five courses, roughly two and a half hours, and a dining room that seats 60 rather than 160.
The wine pairing ($65) leans on small Australian growers — Orange riesling, Tasmanian pinot, a couple of natural wines that surprise people. A shorter three-course option runs on weeknights for $75 if you're not in a tasting-menu mood.
Menu pricing
Per person, all-in — the only extras are drinks and the cheese course you'll be talked into.
Three courses — weeknights
A shorter menu Tue–Thu — entrée, main, dessert, same kitchen.
