Cassia Restaurant, Bar and Function Venue
The setting is what makes this restaurant so special. Dine al fresco at the foot of the estate’s dam; and watch wild birds cavort in the central fountain.

Try the Crispy pork belly with colcannon, fine beans and apple sauce, or monk fish medallions served with capers and preserved lemon.
