Thoughtful food, warm service, local soul. Birkenhead Points neighbourhood Bistro & Event Venue. Food and company. A story as old as humanity itself.
(382)

In the beginning company made getting food easier. And in turn, food made company that much more enjoyable. If you think single-handedly catching a woolly mammoth was a lonely sounding affair, imagine having to eat one with no one to chat to. Likewise, cooking is an inherently social pursuit. What’s the point of making a beautifully crafted sauce if there’s no one there to enjoy it with (or notice how clever you are). Eating and cooking together is a fundamentally human thing to do. And it’s what drove us to open this restaurant. Admittedly, opening a restaurant because ‘people like food and we like cooking’ is not the most sophisticated business strategy. But in its simplicity, we hope you can at least tell that it's honest. And in case anyone gets the wrong end of the spear and thinks this is some sort of caveman themed restaurant, don’t worry. We serve modern cuisine with all the amenities you would expect to find in a modern restaurant. Tables, chairs, and smooth jazz compilations. Get in touch to make a booking, or pop in for a drink. We’d love you to join us.

Here is the start of what we think is a pretty great burger. We mince chuck steak (left), brisket (right) and short rib (not shown) in house to create our take on the juiciest most delicious beef patties. We then weigh these into 250 grams portions. Our buns are also made in house along with our take on a Big Mac sauce.

When we cook the beef Pattie’s we set the meat by starting it in a cast iron pan but then towards the end of its cooking life we transfer it over some hot coals to get a lick of smoke.

This burger is not trying to be anything other than the greatest cheeseburger you will ever have.

To get the word out, next Thursday 4th June we will be doing them for $15. On till gone so you better book so we can get our stocks right.

Tag a mate and have a chance to have your burger on us. We will be giving away 5 burgers on the night!! Be in to win 🏆

On till gone!!!!
Tempura oyster, kaffir lime mayo, nori… 5 a piece
