Kangaroo Island’s culinary offerings just got even better with the opening of the Enchanted Fig Tree dining experience. The banquet-style lunch feast is a celebration of Kangaroo Island produce (including figs harvested from that very tree) and local wines, made under the watchful eye and experienced hand of renowned chef Rachel Hannaford and Sasha Sachs. This fairy tale-like experience is set under the boughs of an ancient fig tree that is over 150 years old. The gnarled branches of the fig tree dip to the ground, then grow upwards again, creating ‘rooms’ of living growth. The dappled light peeping in through the broad leaves will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale. Proprietors Rachel Hannaford and Sasha Sachs wanted the experience to epitomise Kangaroo Island. “We wanted to create a dining experience that captured wilderness, great food, wine and a touch of magical wonder,” says Rachel. The Enchanted Fig Tree lunch is a set menu with two sittings at 12noon and 2.30pm. Winner of the Kangaroo Island Restaurants Award.
