Staguni is a community-focused, farmhouse-style restaurant in a converted 1922 schoolhouse in the Barossa.

The menu is snacky, giving you the freedom to have a full meal or try just one or two plates. It is Mediterranean-influenced and super seasonal (Staguni means “seasons” in Maltese), weaving in flavours from owner and chef Clare Falzon’s (ex-Hentley Farm) Maltese heritage, as well as Sicily and North Africa.

You might start with crusty Maltese bread (hobz tal-Malti) with tomato salsa, capers and shallots before moving onto Limestone Coast pink snapper served with fresh summer veggies in caper-and-lemon butter, or sumac-roasted chicken with lemon-sorrel yoghurt and sesame flatbread.

Each dish has been paired with inventive non-alcoholic cocktails, such as a pineapple-sage lemonade and Verdita Tonic. Cocktails include a spicy Smoked Paprika and Chilli Margarita and a tart Staguni Paloma.
