Welcome to Stella's Kitchen
A dining destination nestled amongst the apple orchards of Lysterfield.
Stella’s Kitchen brings together beautiful food, warm hospitality and picturesque orchard views — all within a relaxed yet refined setting.
Café
Your visit begins in our café, where you’ll find freshly made paninis, house-baked muffins, sweet treats and quality coffee. Perfect for takeaway or a relaxed coffee and bite to eat.
Restaurant
Continue through to our main dining room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame beautiful views across the apple orchard.
Open for breakfast and lunch, our restaurant showcases thoughtfully crafted dishes inspired by fresh, seasonal produce, complemented by great coffee, curated wines and cocktails.
Whether it’s breakfast with family, a long lunch with friends or a special occasion, Stella’s is designed for you to settle in, slow down and enjoy.

Group Dining at Stella’s
For groups of 10 guests or more, we recommend our Shared Lunch Menu — a dining experience created especially for larger tables.
The Stella’s Shared Experience
Choose from our Two or Three-Course Shared Menu, featuring a generous selection of dishes served to the centre of the table for everyone to enjoy.
It’s relaxed, abundant and social — and most importantly, it allows your entire table to dine together and enjoy each course at the same time.
For larger celebrations and gatherings, this is by far the best way to experience Stella’s.
Prefer À La Carte?
Groups may choose to order individually from our à la carte menu; however, please be aware that meals for larger tables are prepared and served progressively and cannot be guaranteed to arrive together.
As every dish is prepared fresh to order, during busy services main courses for larger à la carte groups may take up to 60 minutes to be prepared and served.
Our Recommendation
For a more seamless and enjoyable occasion, we highly recommend choosing our Shared Lunch Menu.
Beautiful food. Generous sharing plates. Everyone dining together.
Simply select your preferred Two or Three-Course Shared Menu when making your reservation, and let our team take care of the rest.
