2/3 High Street, Willunga SA
Encircled by a pub, a general emporium, a butcher’s haven and a bakery, Muni stands proud on High Street in Willunga, its uniqueness setting it apart within the township’s landscape.
A sense of community resonates through the culinary repertoire, which revolves around locally sourced provisions, many harvested from the Willunga Farmers Market or neighbouring suppliers. The degustation menu is designed to harmonise with wine and beer influences from home, a homage to Chen and Wu, expatriates who transplanted their culinary expertise from Melbourne, Paris and Bangkok to South Australia.
Among the offerings, discover menu items like Saké Marinated Oyster with pipi & black vinegar; Shio Koji Cured Pork Jowl with charsiu sauce & smoked hay; Medicinal Braised Lamb Shoulder with fermented tofu & Nan Ling celery; and the Young Ginger Sorbet with stringy bark honey, rum syrup & sea salt.
The wine list is guided by a commitment to low intervention, organic and biodynamic farming practices. As a result, the wine offerings may vary accordingly. Wines are procured locally from South Australia, as well as from other states and globally. This task is overseen by their wine curator and co-owner, Lulie Kaorie Tanaka of Cross Wines, and their Sommelier, Travis Tausend. Additionally, they feature Saké from Japan and Melbourne on the beverage and pairing menus.
Notably, Muni secured a spot among South Australia’s top ten eateries in 2022, acknowledged by the Delicious 100. Mug and Chia’s culinary expertise earned them a place among the state’s Top 20 chefs and the title of Best New Talent in Gourmet Traveller’s 2023 Restaurant Awards. Muni’s dedication to selecting exceptional wines also earned the restaurant recognition on the esteemed Star Wine List.
Muni’s journey embodies authenticity, skilfully blending local and global flavours, creating a harmonious story within the fabric of Willunga’s heritage.
