Protégé is an exciting casual fine dining eatery under the guidance of previous Eat Out Chef of the Year, La Colombe’s Scot Kirton.

Scot is proud to be part of the process of recognising young talented chefs and giving them the opportunity to put themselves on the map. In keeping with this, the restaurant was aptly named Protégé.

The idea with Protégé is to keep it casual and comfortable, working with local suppliers to keep the menu as fresh and as seasonal as possible.

The restaurant space has been designed around the central show kitchen with al fresco dining planned at both ends of the restaurant.

Protégé is open for lunch from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm and for dinner from 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm.

    The service and ambience were wonderful. We felt really well taken care off. The food is exceptional. The stand out dishes being the tuna and the stuffed chicken wing. The attention to detail and the blending of flavours was masterful. A simply superb dinner.

    Excellent…when waiting staff are describing the dish they should slow down a bit.. sometimes it’s was difficult to follow and became a bit of a rush which is a shame after all the hard work..
