naturally grain-finished MS2+
Portoro, Northern Victoria.

Grilled over high heat. Beautifully charred. Juicy in the middle. And that creamy mushroom sauce? You already know you’re going to want every last drop.

Can you resist? 👀

The art of sharing dishes… a little bit of everything, and somehow… never enough.

Good food tastes even better when it’s shared. 🍽️✨
Bring your mates, order a few plates, and let the table decide what disappears first.

What’s your best recharge? 👀
This. 🍝✨

✨ New on the menu — and already becoming a crowd favourite.

Our Seafood Linguine brings together prawns, scallops and mussels, tossed through watercress & almond pesto with flaked chilli, lemon vodka and finished with caviar.

Sometimes, the best kind of recharge is sitting down, picking up a fork and letting someone else do the cooking.
