*Drink matching is the process of pairing food dishes with wine/beer/mocktails to enhance the dining experience. In many cultures, wine and beer have had a long history of being staples at the dinner table and both their production, and the culinary traditions of a region, will have evolved together. The main concept behind pairings is that certain elements in both food and drink interact with each other, and thus finding the right combination of these elements will make the entire dining experience more enjoyable. Our premium wines and beers used in the matching are sourced locally. In line with our Responsible Serving of Alcohol (RSA) wine is served as per the Australian average, which is exactly a 100ml pour per serve with each course of our menu. For those who do not enjoy alcohol, our non-alcoholic pairing is also matched to each course, and carefully curated to provide the same pairing qualities.
