Wood-Fired Kitchen & Hearth

Experience the warmth of our wood-fired hearth kitchen, where every dish is cooked over open flames and embers for a unique, smoky flavour. Our hearth kitchen is the heart of the bistro, visible from the dining room. We use sustainably sourced ironbark and red gum for our fire, and the menu changes seasonally to highlight the best local produce.

Our Hearth Philosophy

Why wood-fired? What makes our kitchen special?

Cooking with Fire

Our chefs master the art of fire cooking, using different woods and temperatures to bring out the best in each ingredient. We use a combination of direct flame grilling and slow ember roasting. Our hearth oven reaches temperatures up to 400°C for perfect pizzas and breads. The smoky aroma infuses every dish with a distinctive character.

Local & Seasonal

We source from local farmers and producers to ensure freshness and support the community. Produce comes from Sydney markets and nearby farms, seafood from sustainable fisheries, and herbs from our own courtyard garden. This means every plate reflects the season and the neighbourhood.

Menu Highlights

A focused menu built around fire, smoke, and the best produce we can find. These are the dishes our regulars order again and again.
