This Moubray Street multi-zoned precinct turns big group gatherings into an art form with distinct European-inspired heritage spaces. Drop into the Conservatory for an airy, light-filled meal, or retreat to Bar Moubray and the fairy-lit marquee gardens where outdoor heaters keep the tables comfortable in colder weather. Locals look to the kitchen for comfort plates—from hearty lamb shepherd’s pie to pillowy gnocchi and rich vodka pasta. For celebratory milestone brunches, attentive hospo crews keep the drinks flowing alongside pre-styled table settings and custom menus.
