Join us for a drink, whatever the time of day.
Start with an espresso or a Bloody Mary alongside breakfast, settle in for a long lunch and a glass from our local and international w**e list, or wind down over dinner with a signature cocktail.
From the first coffee of the day to the last drink of the evening, there’s always a reason to stay a while.

A massive thank you to everyone who is joining us for Dinner for a Cause on Thursday 1 October. If you’re thinking of coming along, there’s still time to make a booking.
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re proudly hosting Dinner for a Cause – four shared courses across multiple sittings – to support much-needed research into breast cancer. We know that so many people in our community have been impacted by this disease and we want to do our part to raise funds for life-saving research.
In early 2025, a dear member of our team became one of the 56 people in Australia who are diagnosed with breast cancer every day. After undergoing intensive and successful treatment, our teammate is back doing the things she loves, and we’re so pleased to host this fundraising dinner in her honour.
Every dollar you spend during Dinner for a Cause will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, supporting this not-for-profit organisation to continue its vital work funding world-class breast cancer research.
Dinner for a Cause features a delicious menu specially curated by our head chef Sam Stafford with a dreamy dessert made by Elio’s co-owner and baker, Elisa Mariani.
One night only. Four shared courses. Multiple sittings.
