*Pre-reservations for our Sunday lunch set are essential, and are offered to tables of two or more. We’ll also continue to serve our a la carte menu on Sundays, though dishes from the Sunday set lunch are not available to a la carte guests. Please note that a 10% Sunday surcharge applies.
Furnished in rich spotted gum, our private dining room, Banda closes off to the rest of the restaurant, and seats 12 for celebrations and business lunches.
The private dining room opens up onto The Terrace with a wall dedicated to wines, concealed behind a mesh curtain that separates it from the dining room. Seating 30, this area can be booked in addition to our private dining room.
Named after the group of islands which ancient seafarers frequented as part of the Sino-Indonesian-Australian route, Aru touches on early techniques – fermentation, smoking, curing, preserving and fire-licked meat, vegetables and fish.
This is a menu for getting together, for sharing, a coming together of cultures and cuisines centred round a wood-fired hearth.
Open for lunch and dinner, six days a week, and on Sunday for Sunday lunch.
