About Kiki's Tavern

Matilda delivers fire-kissed cooking and hatted precision right across from the Botanic Gardens. Step into the warm, low-lit dining room on Domain Road—a smart spot for unhurried date nights where the floor team tucks you into a quiet corner and lets the evening breathe. Diners lean hard into the 'Feed Me' spread, taking down generous rounds of starters and hearth-roasted cuts without the fuss of ordering course by course. Weekend daytime brings its own sharp trick: daytime brunch, giving early birds one-hat culinary technique over breakfast and lunch plates. The kitchen takes its time letting proteins rest, serving up charred snacks and rich flavors right by the glow of the pass.

  • Hatted Weekend Brunch: A rare daytime service offering high-value breakfast and lunch plates with one-hat culinary standards.
  • Generous 'Feed Me' Menu: An abundant, multi-course feast featuring savory starters and generous mains without the guesswork.
  • Unhurried Date Nights: Subtle, intuitive service and comfortable tables set a relaxed rhythm for evening date nights.
