  • You Pick, We Cook

    A$68.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    Not your typical set menu, more of a guide. You choose the dishes, and we balance the portions and structure. It’s made for sharing, stories, and second helpings. Select Any: 2 Cold Meze, 2 Hot Meze, 1 Larger, 1 Side and 1 Dessert (for 2pp) We scale everything to suit your group, whether you’re a pair or a party. The only ask is that everyone at the table joins in. That’s the spirit of it. Passing plates, trying a bit of this and that, eating together like people have always done when the food is good and the mood is easy. And if you don’t want to think too much, just leave it to your waiter.
