Our Culinary Philosophy
Our kitchen celebrates the best of Australian produce, changing with the seasons to offer dishes that are both comforting and refined. Menus evolve with what's fresh from local growers, ensuring every plate reflects the time of year and the character of the region.
Dishes are designed to be savoured slowly, whether at the dining table or between poker hands. We focus on flavour and presentation without pretension, letting quality ingredients speak clearly. The result is a menu that feels generous, considered, and perfectly suited to an evening of conversation and cards.
Seasonal Plates
Hearty, elegant plates designed to be enjoyed between hands, with fresh Australian ingredients at their core.
Roasted root vegetables, native pepper-crusted lamb, and a red wine jus, designed to be enjoyed between hands. Hearty yet elegant, perfect for cooler evenings, and plated to be eaten with one hand if needed, leaving the other free for cards.
Pan-seared barramundi with lemon myrtle butter, served with a light salad, ideal for a refreshing break from the table. Fresh Australian fish, simply prepared, and light enough to keep you alert during play.
Creamy arborio rice with seasonal vegetables and parmesan, a comforting vegetarian option that doesn't compromise on flavour. Rich and satisfying, yet easy to eat while the game continues around you.
Shared Dining
Generous, easy-to-share dishes that keep the conversation and the cards moving.
A selection of Australian cured meats, artisan cheeses, pickles, and crackers, perfect for grazing while the cards are dealt. Generous portions for 2-4 people, and easy to share without interrupting the game.
Crispy calamari with a zesty aioli, a crowd-pleasing starter that disappears quickly between rounds. Light and crunchy, and can be eaten with fingers.
Thin, blistered flatbreads topped with seasonal ingredients, cut into easy-to-handle slices. A variety of toppings, including vegetarian, ideal for sharing at the poker table.
Pre-Poker Dinner
A balanced combination of protein, complex carbs, and vegetables to keep you focused and satisfied without feeling heavy. Grilled chicken or tofu, quinoa salad, and roasted vegetables, designed to provide sustained energy for the evening ahead.
Late-Evening Dishes
Satisfying options for guests who want a bite after poker games conclude.
Creamy pasta with a hint of truffle, topped with crispy breadcrumbs—a comforting end to the night. Rich and indulgent, and can be served in a small portion.
