Wood-fired dining in Melbourne

Cooked over fire, served with care.

Welcome

A small dining room built around one big fire.

Everything we cook touches the coals. We buy from a handful of growers we know by name, bake our bread every morning and pour wines made by people, not factories.

Forty seats, an open kitchen and a long bar for walk-ins. Come for a glass and a snack, or settle in for the whole evening.
