We spent last weekend in Bright and while there, a number of people suggested we visit the Red Stag Deer and Emu Farm. While there, we were able to feed, pat and observe deer, emus, goats and ostriches. We had a great time bottle feeding some of the young animals!

After we'd had our fun it was time for lunch so we headed to the restaurant. The menu had lots of tasty options but, of course, many of them were based around venison, which neither of us wanted to eat after interacting with the cute deer before hand.

We originally ordered Bruschetta topped with Pear, Blue Cheese and Fennel Salad ($15) but were told soon after placing our order that it wasn't available that day. Not to worry, it turns out our mains were filling enough without needing an entree.

T opted for something vegetarian and thoroughly enjoyed his Gnocchi with Pesto ($23).

I ordered Salmon Fillet on mash with salad and Ginger Soy Glaze ($26), it was AMAZING!  When the meal came out the presentation was very nice (the photo definitely doesn't do it justice) and the smell of the glaze was very tempting. I cannot fault this meal, every mouthful was an absolute pleasure. The salmon skin was slightly crispy and perfectly cooked, the mashed potato was tasty, the glaze was divine and the salad was dressed perfectly. Mmmmmm! This truly was the best meal I have had in a very long time!

Unfortunately I dug into my meal before taking a photo! Too tasty to resist!

The waiting staff were all friendly. We ordered an Iced Tea which our waiter forgot to bring out to us before T reminded him. To make up for the oversight, we weren't even charged for the drink!

Our delicious lunch was made even more pleasurable by the view from the restaurant's deck.

I highly recommend The Red Stag Restaurant to anyone visiting the Alpine Region. I thoroughly look forward to returning next time we are in the area.
