Book the restaurant
Savour sustainable farm-to-table dining, a refined grill and seafood restaurant in an opulent setting and elevated multicultural cuisine.
Taking its name from its street address in the city centre, Eleven Barrack is Sydney’s newest grill and seafood restaurant from the Bentley Group (think previously featured King Clarence and Brassiere 1930). Seating 100 guests, the stately dining room, once a marble-pillared banking chamber, is lined with banquette seating and linen-covered tables. A baby grand piano adds to the ambience. Savour an elegant menu of shared platters showcasing premium wood-fired seafood and meats, alongside pasta and salads. With a focus on seasonal dining, guests will share dishes such as Australia’s Sydney Rock Oysters, sliced Kingfish, Wagyu Tatare or rump complemented by a curated wine list showcasing the best of Australia’s wines.
Barragunda is both a restaurant and regenerative farm situated within the expansive 1,000-acre Barragunda Estate on the Mornington Peninsula, an hour-and-forty-minutes’ drive from Melbourne city. With an emphasis on sustainability and hyperlocal dining, the 40-seat dining room is integrated with the thriving market garden just outside, providing a unique backdrop for private events. While the restaurant is ideal for more intimate events, the lakeside heritage barn can be hired exclusively for larger groups, seating up to 200 guests. The estate’s coastal location and rolling green pastures offer a lush setting, where guests can soak up the views while enjoying a bespoke seasonal menu crafted from local ingredients.
Osteria Mucca offers elevated Italian dining, based on traditional family recipes and regional classics. Linen-covered and marble tables, banquettes and wooden chairs top the black and white chequered floor while art deco lights drop from the high ceiling. The bar and glass cabinetry hold hard-to-find wines from small, family-run vineyards alongside a range of aperitivo and digestivo cocktails. Showcasing an artisanal approach, the menu boasts handmade pasta, in-house butchery (think pork shoulder confit and lamb tartare) and charcuterie, alongside seafood dishes of queen snapper, squid and prawns. Located a short drive from the city in the new Australia Street culinary precinct by Paisano and Daughters, book exclusive use for 50 guests.
