Wood-fired dishes and chef-curated tasting experiences praised by guests

  • Feed the Fire menu

    If you haven’t been before, I highly recommend the Feed the Fire “feed me” option — it offers a little of everything and takes your tastebuds on a truly magical journey.

  • Charcoal eye fillet

    enjoyed a charcoal eye fillet that genuinely brought a touch of Tuscan flair to my lunch. The dish was a beautiful arrangement of flavours and textures: a perfectly cooked 220-gram fillet, tender and juicy, paired with vibrant greens like charred asparagus, broad beans, and kale.

    Mark Tabacco

  • King fish

    We got king fish as Entree. It was perfectly balanced and super fresh.
