Slate & Willoow

DINE IN THE DARK. PLAY IN THE GRID.

A menu engineered for late-night appetites and focused play. Slate & Willoow serves modern Australian dishes in a moody, industrial space, where the kitchen stays open late to serve poker evening guests.

Chef Selections

Three signatures that define the kitchen: native Australian ingredients, controlled fire, and plates that hold their own next to the card tables.

Wattleseed Chocolate Tart

Dark chocolate ganache with wattleseed crust and macadamia praline. A rich finish that complements the dark interior.

Dining Atmosphere

Dine under low light, surrounded by the hum of conversation and the shuffle of cards. The restaurant shares space with the card lounge, creating a unique energy. Industrial design elements like exposed brick and metal gridwork define the space. Tables are arranged to allow privacy while keeping the room connected.

Your table is steps away from the action. Guests can watch live poker games from the dining area, and the menu is designed to be enjoyed before or during poker evenings.
