Ahh the Khmer Fried Chicken (aka the ‘KFC’). One of the best sellers on the Rubix By Night menu. What makes it both comforting and surprising? The 7 secret herbs and spices, of course! 🍗

24h infused. Zesty. Silky. Our Yuzu Cold Brew with cold foam is officially served. 🍋☕

One of the interesting challenges we encountered for Rubix By Night was how do we transform the ambiance of your favourite day cafe to a moody restaurant? We have invested heavily in lighting, new cabinetry, curated playlists, candles and even sourced black serviettes! However the cherry on top has got to be our iconic neon sign. Thank you the team at .au for the amazing product and service.

Experience the transformation yourself and book a table https://tally.so/r/2EeQGj.

Many more exciting improvements to come! 🍷 🍹

As we crawl out of the debris left from Mother’s Day… Team Rubix wants to wish a happy belated Mother’s Day to all the fab mothers out there. Thank you to all the customers who chose Rubix to celebrate this special day and help us break our record again for the busiest day in our history (150 people booked)!
Thank you to the team for your tireless work… and in our signature impractical dress up no less. If it wasn’t for all the compounding improvements we’ve made as a team, our record breaking day wouldn’t have been nearly as smooth and, dare I say, fun. ❤️

Ps special mention to Elissa who wore a set of wings that slapped all staff members in the face at least 10 times during peak service. 🥲

A crowd favourite on the previous specials menu now elevated with our house beetroot hummus.

The Papaya Salad is humbly tucked away in the ‘sides’ menu. But don’t be fooled. You can tell a lot about the creative choices we’ve made as a restaurant with just this simple dish. Fresh. Textured. Bold.
A nod to tradition and a wink to modernity 😉

The Parma. The Rubix way. Elevated with prosciutto, Napoli sauce and paired with a slaw laced with mango-mustard dressing. You might as well wash it down with an ice cold Stone & Wood while you’re at it 🍺

Rubix By Night 🍷🍹. The concept is simple. Authentic bold South-East Asian flavours with a modern flair tempered with the satisfaction of a home-cooked meal. Serious food. Relaxed atmosphere.

We’ve got a big announcement. We’ve been trying to keep this new addition to Rubix a little secret. But the cravings are kicking in and getting ever more exotic. We have anxiously waited for one trimester to pass and now we’re finally ready to go “Facebook official”…

We would like to proudly welcome to the world: Rubix by Night! 🍸 🍹🍷

That’s right. Your favourite cafe now does dinners on Friday and Saturday nights (5pm - 9pm).

Completely new menu. Modern South East Asian cuisine.

We’re fully licensed with a curated wine list to pair specifically with our menu. (No BYO - sorry!)

We’ve been blown away by the reception so far and we’d love for you to meet our new baby!

Bookings are recommended.
Book here: https://tally.so/r/2EeQGj

P.S. Please note these ‘baby photos’ were taken when she was a wee infant. Since then, we’ve implemented a ton of customer feedback, and she’s grown up fast! Don’t be surprised if the dishes look a little more ‘mature’ (and more delicious) when you visit next.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of yet another essential appliance... the milk fridge. And as a cruel twist of fate, our head chef announced the shock passing of the commercial oven after we recorded this skit.

In just over a year Rubix has lost:
- 2x Air Con units ($4.5k each)
- 1x Cake Fridge ($5k)
- 1x Milk Fridge ($5k)
- 1x commercial oven (now urgently in the process of being replaced: another approx >$17k)
- This does not account for the countless $$$ we imprudently spent on technicians fixing dying equipment that should have just been replaced... if only we had more wisdom.

Alas, it is all part of the circle of life - we just didn’t expect the circle to be so damn small! Luckily one thing that hasn’t broken is our resilience.

We hope this gives you a bit of insight into what happens behind the scenes of our humble cafe. Rest assured, there are backups in place so we don’t anticipate any blips in service... but if one were to arise we thank you for your understanding!

In hospitality you must be like a swan: calm and graceful on the surface but paddling like crazy under water... Especially when essential equipment is breaking down during service 😅

Don’t worry we’ll still be labouring away this Labour Day! 8am - 2.30pm. ☕️
