We’d like to say a massive thank you for the overwhelming support, messages, and phone calls we have received over the last few weeks since announcing our closure. We are very grateful to say the least.
Unfortunately, we are fully booked for dinner service going forward and only have very limited availability for lunch service Wednesday to Friday. As any last minute cancellations become available we will be posting on our story for anyone looking for a booking to claim.
Again, a huge thank you ❤️🍷

A farewell letter from Tender Trap
To our valued friends, employees, and guests of Tender Trap,
It is with humble gratitude and a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Tender Trap Restaurant.
This has been a very difficult and emotional decision and we are so sad to say goodbye, after 20 years we will close our doors on Monday December 25th as we have decided it's time to move on to our next adventure.
We would like to thank our staff past and present, and our suppliers for being such an integral part of our business and for helping us to provide so many wonderful experiences. However, most of all to our countless guests over the years. We give immeasurable thanks to everyone who has dined with us, whether you've been dining with us for years or just now found us. We are grateful for your continued support and loyalty. Tender Trap has given us all a place to feel at home. We are very blessed to have met such incredible people and families along the way that have become a part of our own.
This is a difficult decision to say the least, as we have so much love for Tender Trap and seeing you walk through our doors. As we look back on it all, what an incredible journey it has been at the very least!
Once again, our deepest gratitude with our very best and sincerest wishes, we hope that you stay safe and take care of each other. We will miss you all so very much.
Yours sincerely and with so much love,
Chris, Helen, Bella & Natalia

Celebrating 2023 National Barramundi Day.
Blackened Etty Bay Barramundi, Venere Black Rice, Wombok, Thai Basil, Coriander, Peanuts, Chilli Jam Dressing.
“Did you know that roughly around 60% of Barramundi is imported? This fact surprises many Australians and makes it tough for our local farmers to compete with imports that aren’t subject to our environmental regulations. That’s why we celebrate by eating delicious Australian Barramundi and encourage you to ask for Aussie Barra at your local restaurants.

No explanation needed just a glass of Grosset ‘Spingvale’ Riesling will do.
