The Menu

Modern Australian, Playfully Plated

Our menu pairs contemporary Australian cuisine with the energy of a social club. Every dish is designed to be shared, savoured, and followed by a hand at the poker table. Seasonal ingredients arrive from Victorian producers, while signature plates reflect Melbourne's dining culture. The result is a menu that moves effortlessly from bright dining to evening poker.

Culinary Philosophy

From the Market to the Table

We celebrate Victoria's best produce with dishes that are refined yet unpretentious. The menu changes with the seasons, but the focus remains on bold flavours and beautiful presentation. Our kitchen works closely with local growers and suppliers, balancing familiar favourites with inventive creations. Each plate is designed for sharing and conversation, so the table becomes the first place where the evening comes alive.

  • Partnerships with Victorian growers and independent suppliers.
  • A balance of familiar favourites and inventive creations.
  • Dishes designed for sharing and conversation.

Signature Dishes

Plates Worth Gathering Around

Three dishes capture the spirit of the menu: bold Australian ingredients, confident technique, and a sense of occasion.

Cocktail Program

Shaken, Stirred, and Social

Our bar team crafts cocktails that echo the club's playful spirit. From classic twists to house creations, each drink is designed to be enjoyed before or after a hand of poker. The signature Jogada Sour uses native finger lime for a bright, distinctly Australian lift. An extensive list of Australian spirits and wines sits alongside thoughtful non-alcoholic options, so every guest can find a drink that fits the moment.

Desserts

Sweet Endings

Our desserts are a playful nod to the card table. The Full House chocolate fondant and the Flush citrus tart are favourites among regulars. The menu changes seasonally, and every dessert can be paired with a dessert wine or a carefully brewed coffee. It is the final course before the evening takes its next turn.

Dining to Poker

From the Table to the Felt

After your meal, the evening naturally continues in our Card Lounge. Here, face-to-face poker around physical poker tables is the main event. It is not about screens or online play—it is about real people, real cards, and real conversation. The Card Lounge is open late on poker nights, and no experience is necessary; our hosts will guide you. The transition is seamless: finish your dessert, find your table.
