EAT
Our menu is built around what’s in season. Nearly everything is made from scratch and in-house; we make our own bread rolls, small goods, and sauces, and you’ll find our chefs pickling, smoking, curing, and fermenting to achieve our desired results.
The jewel of our open kitchen is the charcoal oven, imported from Spain, which allows food to be cooked simply with rich, strong flavours.
We choose to work with local growers and sustainability-focused businesses. Our produce is predominantly organic, all meat is ethically raised, and our seafood is caught using low-impact, sustainable methods. We believe great-tasting food starts with sourcing the best ingredients.
In addition to our Brunch, Lunch & Dinner menus below, we offer:
Chefs Menu: 9 of our favourite dishes plus dessert, designed to share. For a min of 2 people, ideal and recommended for groups. Wine match available for ~$65.
Set Lunch Menu: For a min of 2 people, with starters and sides designed to share, an individual main, plus dessert.
THE PICKUP: Our weekday early dining special —our version of happy hour. Available Tuesday to Friday for bookings and walk-ins between 5–6pm.
WOW Pre-Show Menu: During the World of WearableArt (WOW) season, we offer a special pre-show menu (replacing THE PICKUP during this time). Designed to be enjoyed in an hour so you can get to the show on time. Show your WOW ticket for a complimentary glass of bubbles.
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available, and most dietary needs can be accommodated with prior notice.
