    Best summed up as “Inconsistent”. Highlights of the Australian themed menu were the opening small bites - particularly the saltbush and rye berry, and an amazing crocodile dish. The outside experience was a nice break in the meal, and the server was great, although the ambiance is a little odd. But some courses went between tasteless (literally - no flavour making me wonder if someone had checked them), and unpleasant. Whilst I appreciate the desire to push the use of native ingredients, and some are fantastic, in some courses, such as the “Australia” fish dish it felt like the only reason it was there was to say it was there. All in all, it was inconsistent. Not what you would expect at that price or from a restaurant of Attica reputation.

    Our dinner at Attica was extraordinary. This is our third visit, having been once every 5 years or so. Each experience remains memorable, though it is fascinating to observe the changes that have happened in that time. Highlights of this meal were the roo satay, marron with a butter sauce and sourdough, and the white chocolate pannacotta with native honey. The way Attica combines intellectual qualities in their approach, with emotive touch points, and deep sensory engagement is very rewarding as a diner. The service was exceptional, attentive, personalised, and a nice mix between reverent for the quality and experience, yet also fun and interactive.

    Thanks Joseph, I'm glad you found it interesting. We'd much prefer you full than hungry. Hope to see your return.

    If you were ever wondering what you could do with indigenous produce, this is where you find out. Delicious, sublime presentation mixed with a degree of theatre.

    Only feed back is give more options for other meat than kangaroo it’s gamey and I’m not paying $1290 for vegetarian it’s not fair when you have to get food on the way home as you aren’t completely full I would just suggest a second meat option and other than that it was amazing .
    AtticaResponded on April 4, 2025
    Hi Kat, I'm sorry you felt the value wasn't there. The menu is $385 not including any beverage and honestly a lot of the vegetables are more expensive than the meat these days. Regardless, we'd have done everything we could have to make you feel more comfortable with the value outside of the boundaries of serving non indigenous meats. I'm pleased you enjoyed the experience overall.

    Service was great. Someone dishes were excellent but others were just okay. Overall great experience but just a little below exceptional.
    AtticaResponded on March 22, 2025
    Thank you Chuong for your honest feedback. A little below exceptional is not what we are used to hearing and certainly not what we are aiming for so I'm very sorry to read this. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to wow you again in the future.
