About Boire

A tight room on Errol Street running on big energy and serious pours—sister shop to Manze across the road. Neighborhood regulars stop in at lunch for lamb and smoked egg sandwiches, then return at dusk as DJs spin and the floor packs out. Glasses of low-intervention wine and cold Mauritian beer land beside raw Tassie Blue Eye, followed by Loddon Estate quail glazed straight off the smoke.

  • Thoughtful Plates & Pours: Staff guide pairings across raw Tassie Blue Eye, Mount Zero olives, and glazed Loddon Estate quail, flanked by sweet pickled green almond martinis.
  • Daytime Sandwich Counter: Casual daytime lunch service centers on substantial chicken, lamb, and smoked egg sandwiches poured with wine by the glass.
  • Electric Evening Atmosphere: Evenings build momentum with live DJ sets, engaging floor hospitality, and cold bottles of Mauritian beer in a full room.

  • Coriander Chutney

    The standout for me was easily the coriander chutney. I knew something on the plate had to be the flavour bomb, and this was it. Fresh, light and packed with flavour, it completely lifted the steak without overpowering it.

  • Martinis

    Best martinis in town, the food is incredibly delicious too.
