Laura At Pt. Leo Estate

Sitting proudly on the coastline of the Mornington Peninsula, Laura is the jewel in Pt. Leo Estate’s crown—a two‑hatted fine‑dining destination where art, wine and food collide in perfect harmony. A member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux collective, the restaurant has held its two‑hat status for seven years straight under the leadership of Culinary Director Josep Espuga, General Manager Roger Lancia, and Director of Beverage Amy Oliver.

Framed by floor‑to‑ceiling windows, the space overlooks Western Port and the estate’s incredible 16‑acre sculpture park—Australia’s largest private collection and the third largest in the world. Works by renowned artists like KAWS, Reko Rennie and Jaume Plensa (whose towering seven‑metre sculpture inspired the restaurant’s name) surround guests as they dine, creating a backdrop that’s as breathtaking as the food itself.

Espuga, who’s cooked in Michelin‑starred kitchens across Spain and Thailand, brings a sustainable, produce‑driven approach to every dish. Standouts include Southern Rock lobster with white asparagus and sauce Pauline, Aquna Murray cod with Mt Zero chickpeas and Blackmore wagyu with yuzu apple and tendon dashi. Guests can opt for an eight‑course tasting, four‑course signature journey or a relaxed two‑course table d’hôte lunch.

With Amy Oliver’s award‑winning wine list—crowned 3 Glasses at the Australian Wine List of the Year Awards—every pour feels considered, rounding out an experience that defines coastal refinement.
