Book NowAbout Wok the Duck
Overlooking a calm lake in the Adelaide Hills, Wok the Duck pairs bold modern Thai plates with a breezy waterside escape. Grab a seat on the outdoor deck where ducks drift across the water, or slide into an indoor booth for slow-cooked brisket massaman and crispy candy chicken. Mornings bring mimosas, breakfast fare, and iced coffees by the creek, while evenings lean into custom cocktails and wok-charred pad Thai. For groups, the multi-course Feed Me banquet arrives family-style, leaving kids occupied with duck-shaped jasmine rice platters and lawn space to wander.
- Lakeside Deck & Lawn: Open deck and lawn seating look straight across the lake and creek, complete with ducks on the water.
- Feed Me Banquet: Multi-course chef tasting banquets served family-style, with a dedicated gluten-free option available.
- Duck-Molded Kids Platters: Family-friendly sampler platters featuring jasmine rice pressed into custom duck shapes.

Brisket Massaman
The Massaman brisket was slow-cooked perfection… melt-in-your-mouth tender, with deep, rich spice and just the right balance of creaminess and warmth.
Christopher Lee Pad Thai
And the Pad Thai… honestly one of the best I’ve had. Properly balanced, slightly tangy, a bit sweet, with that authentic wok-char flavour that’s hard to find.

Before you head over
Practical tips to help you get the most out of your lakeside visit.
Clarify Heat Levels When Ordering
Dishes pack serious punch and menu descriptions do not always list chilli heat levels, so check with your server if you prefer milder spice.
Pace Yourself for the Banquet
If you choose the multi-course 'Feed Me' banquet, arrive hungry and anticipate generous portions that may require a takeaway container.
Opt for Lakeside Deck Seating
For breakfast or coffee, choose an outdoor deck table or lawn seat to make the most of the tranquil lake and creek outlook.
