About Us
First-floor modern-European bistro and bar above Kirk's Wine Bar on Hardware Lane — part of Con Christopoulos's European Group with co-owner and chef Ian Curley and head chef Luke Fraser. Ascend the lane staircase to a light-filled dining room with red timber ceiling, zinc bar, terrace and Salon de Thè event space; the site pairs seasonal Australian produce with classic French bistro spirit (opened 2016, ethos unchanged a decade on). Reopened for public dining in 2023 after a COVID-era functions-only hiatus. Bookings recommended via the official OpenTable embed; walk-ins welcome. Wine list leans French with strong by-the-glass and cocktail programs.
