About Auterra Wine Bar

Brought to High Street by the Amaru team, this Armadale cave à manger backs cellar depth with sharp kitchen craft. Regulars point straight to the dry-aged duck with crisp potatoes, though grabbing a high table for a king prawn sandwich and a chilled red works just as well. For the full run, take the multi-course tasting menu—paired with small-batch pours from floor staff who know their producers without an ounce of pretension. Upstairs, a dedicated room handles group celebrations over tailored menus.

  • Curated Tasting Menus: The multi-course 'Leave it to us' and 'All In' options deliver a steady progression of inventive small plates with tailored wine pairings.
  • Signature Dry-Aged Duck: A perennial standout on High Street, the aged duck breast comes paired with potatoes and curated cellar reds.
  • Dedicated Private Dining: An upstairs private room accommodates milestone gatherings and group dinners with tailored menus and dedicated wine selections.

Beyond the menu

From tailored pours to bespoke dining room keepsakes, Auterra's hospitality goes well beyond standard wine bar service. Book your table or private room today.

  • Personalized Celebration Menus

    For private dining celebrations, the team prints customized menu cards bearing the guest of honor's name and adapts set courses to welcome external birthday cakes.

  • Flexible Half-Portion Plating

    Floor staff thoughtfully offer half portions for dishes that typically arrive in pairs, allowing solo and curious diners to explore more of the small-plates menu.

  • Sample-First Wine Guidance

    Rather than rushing selections from the expansive cellar, staff offer patient table tastings to guide guests to the exact right pour.

  • Bespoke Dietary and Event Curation

    Dedicated event management collaborates closely with hosts ahead of private bookings to finesse food selections, dietary needs, and wine pairings.

Before you head over

Practical advice on seating, ordering, and event planning—book your table in advance to secure the full experience.

  • Supplement Set Menus for Signature Bites

    Auterra's 'Leave it to us' set menu focuses on delicate, bite-sized plates and may omit celebrated staples like the fish sando or steak. If you have an appetite for specific favorites, review the course list upon arrival and order extra à la carte dishes to complement the progression.

  • Request High Tables for Conversational Space

    Floor seating in the main bar is tightly arranged, making private conversation tricky when neighboring tables are occupied. For extra breathing space and a slightly more secluded perch on date nights, ask for one of the standalone high tables.

  • Book Upstairs for Milestone Group Dinners

    For special celebrations or groups of up to 12, book the dedicated upstairs private dining room. The team works directly with organizers to curate course progressions, cater to individual dietary needs, and prepare personalized printed menu cards.
