Tani Eat & Drink - BRIGHT

We dined at Tani in the final week it was open and thoroughly enjoyed the fixed price degustation menu. The food was an amazing mixture of flavours, techniques and ingredients. A number that we had not tried before eg Wallaby tartare. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful and it was good that the tables were not crammed together to fit more in - I'm sure that they had to turn many booking away but they knew how many the wait and kitchen staff could deal with to provide a very good quality of food and service.They have a high standard to maintain in the new arrangement as a gin distillery with some food. However, we understand from the waiter told us about their new venture in response to our questions that their other restaurant (at Mt Hotham I think he said) will continue to offer high quality dining - hopefully it is as good as what we experienced at Tani.

We visited on the second last night and had an amazing degustation. The staff, food and ambience was wonderful. Such a pity it's now closed. Those who created this real asset for Bright are apparently moving on to greener pastures.

After booking, we received a call to say only the degustation menu ($75pp) was available as they are closing at the end of April. Very happy that we dined there (again) - one of the best value degustations we have had. The six courses were innovative, delightful contrasts in flavour and texture, and showcasing local products. The wine list and service were both very good. Sad that Tani is closing but we will try their new bar-style venture when next in Bright. If their gin with local aromatics that we sampled and bought a bottle for home is indicative, it should be good.

Great seven course degustation for two.. all amazing food with great variety and complexity of flavours and textures which left us very satisfied. Great wine list and knowledgeable staff ensured a perfect dinner. Ambience perfect, just the hum of quiet chatter with low music in the background. Definitely recommended for folks who enjoy wonderful food in a lovely venue. Definitely try the house gin, unusual in a good way!

This place is unique and different. Great flavours in food variations you are not going to easily find. Staff very friendly and helpful and fast . Wines also were great! No as expensive as you may think. Sharing is encouraged and is fun.
