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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the menu format work, and are portions filling?

Auterra offers structured chef menus (such as 'Leave it to us' or 'All In') as well as à la carte small plates. Note that signature items like the fish sando, steak, or soufflé may not automatically be included on set menus, and portion sizes lean toward delicate snack-style plates, so you may want to order additional dishes if you arrive hungry.

Can you book a private dining room for special events?

Yes, Auterra accepts reservations and features an upstairs private dining room suitable for milestones and group events of around 12 guests. Event hosts can arrange curated menus and wine pairings in advance with the team.

What is the seating arrangement like, and are dogs welcome?

Main dining tables can be situated quite close together, but seating is also available at the high tables and in an outdoor courtyard where dogs are welcome.
