Seasonal Chef's Specials

Our culinary team works closely with Australian producers to create seasonal chef's specials that are as cinematic on the plate as they are satisfying at the table. Each dish balances texture, temperature, and flavour, designed to sit beautifully alongside our signature menu and evening entertainment.

Specials change frequently based on coastal catches, farm availability, and our chef's inspiration. Reservations are recommended for guests wishing to experience the full progression of seasonal highlights.

Sommelier Wine Pairings

Curated Australian & International Selections

Our sommelier team builds pairings that align with the chef's highlights of the week. Featuring both Australian icons and quietly celebrated international labels, each wine is selected for balance, depth, and a narrative that complements the plate in front of you.

Gourmet small plates served during an intimate poker evening at Bluff And Bite

Poker Night Gourmet Pairings

Elevated Small Plates for Social Play

On poker evenings, the kitchen shifts focus to elevated small plates, signature bites, and sophisticated bar snacks crafted to match the social rhythm of the night. Dishes are designed to be shared, enjoyed one-handed, and savoured between hands without interrupting the flow of conversation.

Think crisp, flavour-forward snacks, refined sliders, and composed bites that bring the same culinary detail as our main dining room to the poker table experience.

Vegan & Vegetarian Delights

Plant-Forward Culinary Innovation

Our vegan and vegetarian specials celebrate the richness of plant-based cuisine without compromise. Expect charred, slow-roasted, and smoked profiles, layered with modern techniques and thoughtful sauces for depth.

From shared plates designed for the centre of the table to composed mains worthy of the spotlight, these dishes appeal to both dedicated plant-based guests and curious diners alike.

Fresh from the Sea

Ocean-to-Table Limited Specials

Our coastal-inspired specials feature pristine seafood sourced from Australia's oceans, brought in limited quantities and presented with delicate, modern plating. From lightly cured preparations to charcoal-kissed mains, each dish seeks to highlight the natural character of the catch.

Availability is intentionally limited to ensure peak freshness and quality, making these dishes a coveted highlight of the evening for seafood lovers.

Private Event Menus

Bespoke Menus for Gatherings

For private celebrations, corporate evenings, and VIP gatherings, our team crafts bespoke seasonal menus that can include chef's tasting experiences, shared feasts, or roaming canapé formats. Every element — from the first glass on arrival to the final petite four — is aligned with your event vision.

Menus can incorporate signature dishes from our specials program or be composed entirely around a unique concept developed with our culinary team.

Experience-Driven Desserts

Desserts Designed for the Finale

Our dessert specials are crafted as a final chapter rather than an afterthought. Using local fruits, artisanal chocolates, and textural contrasts, each plate is designed to extend the evening — encouraging another glass of wine, another cocktail, and another conversation.

Expect elements of theatre in plating, temperature contrasts, and flavour journeys that invite sharing, photography, and a considered pause before the night concludes.
