Babae places a strong emphasis on the provenance of the food we serve. It is all about the origin and sustainable source of the produce.
Our menu is created to showcase the produce grown around us and the talents of our team. We create food that is produced with care and a focus on taste, diversity of style, classic methods and contemporary ideas.
Our menu is very much crafted in partnership with the farmers, breeders and providores from across the Goldfields region and further afield. We work closely together to bring you the best of Australian food and wine.
We embrace the best of what’s in season from both local producers and our kitchen farm’s garden, we create menus with a keen eye on the approaching seasons harvest, working hand-in-glove with producers and our own gardeners to develop ingredients unique and tailored to menus at Babae.
