Matilda Bay Restaurant

Straight Out of Kentucky 🥃

Forget fireworks. This is the kind of Independence Day celebration we’re interested in.

For one night only, we’ll be pouring some of America’s most delicious whiskeys, from Eagle Rare and Sazerac Rye through to the legendary George T. Stagg.

Paired with a menu inspired by the bold flavours of bourbon country, this is an evening built for whiskey lovers, food lovers, and anyone who appreciates a great story in their glass.

Friday 4th July | $160pp

Seats are limited

The winter wine dinner calendar just got even bigger🍷

Four extraordinary evenings. Four very different reasons to book a table between now and September... and two of them just had their menus released.

First up, the Independence Day Whiskey Dinner on 4th July. Four courses built around the finest Kentucky whiskey, for $160 per person. A night that’s equal parts indulgent and unexpected... and one you won’t want to miss.

Then on 10th July, the Henschke Wine Dinner. Exploring the Great Vineyards of Eden Valley and Barossa. Six courses, eight wines and a lineup that includes The Wheelwright, Mount Edelstone and the legendary Hill of Grace Shiraz 2022, poured side by side. $260 per person.

For Moss Wood on 14th August and our Champagne & Caviar evening on 18th September, details will be announced soon. Send us a DM or email to register your interest and hear about them first.

Seats for all evenings are strictly limited. Book via the link in bio🍷

Meet Ivan, our new Sommelier 🍷

Wine wasn’t something Ivan discovered... it was something he grew up with. Raised in a family with a deep passion for the craft, his grandfather was a winemaker in Piedmont, and that early connection to the vine shaped everything that followed.

To turn passion into profession, Ivan spent three years studying in Florence with the Italian Sommelier Association, completing his certification with the Associazione Italiana Sommelier. Now he brings that expertise, that heritage and that genuine love of wine to every table at Matilda Bay.

Next time you’re in, ask Ivan for a recommendation. We have a feeling you won’t be disappointed 🍾

One week to go until we depart for Europe 🌍🍷

Next Friday, we’ll be taking a journey through five of Europe’s most celebrated wine regions, with five carefully paired courses and wines guiding the way. From oysters and Sturia Oscietra caviar paired with Pierre Mignon Champagne in France, to Wagyu fillet with Istine Chianti Classico in Italy, before finishing in Portugal with spiced poached quince and Graham’s Fine Tawny Port.

Five countries. Five wines. Five courses. One unforgettable evening by the bay.

Friday 12 June
$190 per person

When winter desserts look this good, skipping dessert isn’t really an option 🍨

Our new dessert menu has arrived, featuring everything from Valrhona chocolate crémeux with almond praline and citrus, to poached pear with white chocolate ganache, a classic mille-feuille with vanilla crème diplomat, and our bright St Clement’s tart with grapefruit and citrus salsa.

The only difficult part? Deciding which one to order.

Or do what we’d do and share a few around the table 😉
