The Hidden Parlour is an Australian restaurant where contemporary Australian cuisine, seasonal dining and a relaxed supper-club pace meet behind the green door.
Come as you are for an unhurried meal shaped around good conversation, considered plates and warm light. Dinner stands beautifully on its own; for those who are curious, the Card Lounge is an optional next room in the evening.
Our contemporary Australian kitchen follows the rhythm of the season and lets the ingredient set the direction. The result is a menu with a sense of place and a reason to return: familiar enough to settle into, attentive enough to feel new when the table is laid again. It is food made for an evening, not a hurried interruption to one.
Share plates bring the table into the conversation. Choose a few things to pass between friends, a date or colleagues, or let each guest follow their own appetite. The pace stays unforced, leaving room to talk, taste and decide what might be welcome next.
Dessert is part of the evening’s gentle landing, not an afterthought. A final course gives the table a reason to linger, soften the pace and make space for one more story before coats are gathered.
The menu is designed to move with the kitchen’s seasonal point of view. It keeps a future visit interesting without asking diners to decode a fixed format or plan every course before they arrive.
The drinks programme is made to sit comfortably beside dinner. From signature cocktails to alcohol-free drinks, each choice belongs at the table and gives guests a way to set their own pace. Begin with a glass, share something across the table, or find a considered companion for the meal.
Our signature cocktails bring a sense of balance and season to the start of an evening or to a course at the table. They are prepared as part of the hospitality, with the same calm attention given to a considered dinner.
Australian wines offer an approachable way through the meal, whether a shared bottle suits the conversation or a glass feels right alongside a course. The invitation is to choose with curiosity, not expertise.
Alcohol-free drinks hold their own place in the experience. Choose them for flavour, for pace or simply for preference, and expect a drink that feels like part of the composed evening rather than a footnote.
Come for dinner, then choose whether the evening continues into the intimate Card Lounge. It is an optional, in-person social card experience alongside the restaurant, never a condition of the meal. The shift from table to green felt can be as quiet or as curious as you want it to be.

Reserve a dining table and let the evening take its own shape: a seasonal meal, dessert and a final drink, or an optional next step toward the Card Lounge. A dinner reservation begins with the restaurant and does not automatically include any Card Lounge experience.

Each pathway gives you the most relevant next step without asking you to piece the evening together.
