Slate Restaurant – A Culinary Destination in the Heart of Clare Valley

Since opening in October 2018, Slate Restaurant at Pikes has quickly earned a reputation as one of the Clare Valley’s premier dining experiences.

Recognised by Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine as the region’s Cellar Door with Best Food in both 2020 and 2022, and awarded a prestigious Chef Hat by the Australian Good Food Guide six years running (2020–2025), Slate is a proud ambassador for the vibrant food and wine scene in regional South Australia.

The restaurant offers a refined Modern Australian menu, with a strong focus on local, seasonal ingredients. Many dishes are inspired by the harvest from Slate’s own kitchen garden, celebrating the freshest produce the region has to offer.

Complementing the food is an extensive wine list featuring the full range of Pikes estate-grown wines, including rare reserve and museum selections from the private cellar. Pikes Beer Company is also on tap, alongside a curated selection of premium spirits and freshly brewed coffee from the bar.

With its warm hospitality, beautiful setting, and dedication to quality, Slate Restaurant invites you to savour the best of Clare Valley, one plate, and one glass, at a time.
