The Menu

Fire, ice and
rare bottles

Everything we serve is cut, cured, poured or plated in-house — from the Josper hearth that never cools to the raw bar, the couture dessert trolley and a digestif library built over fourteen years. Menus move with the season and the wheel.

Meat & Flame — The Josper Stakes

Steaks with a
marble score

The open Josper burns charcoal and river red gum at 400°C, centre-stage between the dining room and the pit. Cuts are listed by marble score and provenance, and cooked to your call.

Wagyu Ribeye MS9+ · Rangers Valley, 300gA$145
Dry-Aged T-Bone · 45 days, 600gA$98
Kangaroo Fillet · pepperberry jusA$52
Whole Flathead · hearth-grilledA$58
Josper grill

Cooked While You Play

Order from the felt — your steak's progress is tracked at the table and served the moment it leaves the hearth.

Caviar & Champagne Baccarat Lounge

The ice card,
served by the gram

The baccarat lounge keeps its own kitchen pass — caviar on mother-of-pearl, blinis to order and a champagne list weighted toward Blanc de Blancs from the great houses.

  • Beluga 30g / 50g — mother-of-pearl service, A$340 / A$520.
  • Osetra Golden 30g — hazelnut finish, A$240.
  • Sevruga 30g — bright and briny, A$180.
  • Blanc de Blancs flight, three houses — A$95.

The Private Loge

A raised booth above the baccarat rail — caviar service, your own pourer and a standing invitation to the midnight draw. Held for Diamond and Salon Privé guests.

Nocturnal Brunch

After 02:00 the kitchen flips to recovery service — bone-marrow toast, congee with wagyu, espresso tonics and zero-proof nightcaps for players finishing tournaments.

Marrow & Egg ToastA$24
Wagyu CongeeA$28
Espresso Tonic FlightA$16
Post-Game Feast

Breakfast at
three a.m.

The last hands usually settle after two. That is when the brunch board appears — warm, restorative and deliberately quiet, plated for guests coming off long sessions and night owls who plan their evening backwards.

Night-slot check-ins are handled at the bar; show your player's card or your dinner receipt and the kitchen prioritises your order. The full card is on the price list.

Pastry Couture

Desserts cut
like gems

The couture trolley rolls nightly: platinum-leaf bonbons, sugar-work playing cards, and the famous chocolate chip stack — five couverture coins in house denominations.

The Fortune Cookie — Dessert Prophecies

Crack one open.
Claim the line.

Every bill arrives with a black sesame fortune cookie, baked in-house. Most hold a line of desert philosophy. Some hold a voucher — A$20 off the next visit, a complimentary pour, or on lucky nights a A$100 chip credit.

Voucher cookies are marked with a platinum seal and honoured at the cage or the till within thirty days. The odds are printed honestly on the FAQ page — roughly one in fourteen carries a prize.

  • Black sesame, dark chocolate, zero artificial anything.
  • Winning slips are signed and sealed by the duty manager.

Tonight's Prophecy

“The house always wins — except on Fridays, when it hands out pearls.”

Artisanal Coffee & Digestif Bar

Geisha at dawn,
grappa at four

Classic, cheddarA$32
Truffle & swissA$38
Double stack, bone-marrow sauceA$44
Craft Ales & the Corner

The player's
barbecue

The burger corner sits beside the pit entrance — deliberately casual, deliberately fast, and deliberately good. The ale card leans on Territory and Tasmanian microbrews, rotated monthly.

Order at the counter or from the felt; runners deliver to table numbers across the gaming floor. See the full drinks list on the menu or ask the floor manager for tonight's tap list.

Midnight Oyster & Champagne Fest

Coffin Bay

Deep-cupped, creamy finish — the house favourite.

Variety № 2

Smoky Bay Pacific

Clean brine, cucumber note — built for champagne.

Variety № 3

Rich and mineral — the connoisseur's pick.

Menu — FAQ

Ordering,
explained

Yes — the felt menu is designed for one hand and plates travel on felt-safe trays. Josper cuts and the raw bar can also be served tableside between hands.
Constantly. The truffle card runs June–August, the oyster fest is monthly, and the chef's blind-bet wheel rewrites itself nightly. Ask the floor for today's card.
Every section of the menu has a plant-based line, and the kitchen handles allergies at booking — note it on your reservation or tell the concierge on arrival.
House chips settle at par across the whole menu — including the cellar. Members can also charge to their Vault account.
