The Source

As you climb the stairs to this amazing restaurant, your eyes will be drawn to the painting from which it takes its name: “The Source,” by Australian artist John Olsen, is a stunning 6m (20-ft.) work set into the ceiling directly above the central staircase. It will take your breath away. So, too, will the entire experience of dining here, which promises to be delivered “with a MONA twist” (the restaurant is part of the Museum of Old and New Art; see p.




). Choose from a degustation menu to create your own 3, 5, 7 or 9 course meal. And you can be assured that seasonal and local produce (with an eye to “food miles”) is very important here. Huge windows allow stunning views of the Derwent River.
