The Restaurant
A refined menu for a night at the tables. Dishes are crafted to be enjoyed before, during, or after a session in the card lounge.
Dining Philosophy
Our kitchen focuses on bold, comforting flavours that can be enjoyed without leaving the table. Dishes are designed for easy sharing and minimal interruption to live poker play, with ingredients locally sourced where possible to reflect Australian produce. The menu changes seasonally to keep the offering fresh for regular poker players.
“We build every dish around the rhythm of the room. Fine dining should never pull a player away from the felt for longer than necessary, so our kitchen is fast, focused, and quietly confident.”
Signature Dishes
Three dishes define the kitchen at Poker Villabribie. Each one is built for a long evening at the card lounge, balancing flavour with the focus required for live poker.
A bold Australian favourite, served with native pepper jus and roasted root vegetables. Lean, flavourful meat that pairs well with a night of poker, plated elegantly but easy to eat between hands.
Fork-tender lamb with rosemary jus, served with creamy polenta. Comforting and hearty, ideal for long poker sessions, and easily shared among players at the table.
Crisp-skinned barramundi with lemon myrtle butter and seasonal greens. Light yet satisfying, perfect for players who prefer a fresher option, and a nod to coastal Australian influences.
Menu Overview
A selection of small plates designed for the table. Includes items like salt and pepper calamari, arancini, and charcuterie boards, all easy to share without disrupting poker play.
Hearty mains that satisfy without being heavy. Features the signature dishes plus additional options like steaks, pastas, and vegetarian choices. Portions are generous but balanced for a long evening.
Sweet finishes and a curated beverage list. Desserts include classic Australian favourites and modern twists, while the beverage list features local wines, craft beers, and non-alcoholic options.
Dining Experience
The restaurant sits adjacent to the card room, offering a warm, intimate space with timber accents and low lighting. Guests can hear the soft shuffle of cards from the poker tables, creating a unique ambience that mirrors the premium feel of the poker lounge.
Attentive but unobtrusive service respects the focus required for live poker. Staff are trained to serve quietly and efficiently, and table-side ordering is available for players who don't want to leave their seat.
Dining During Poker Nights
Arrive early and enjoy a relaxed meal before the cards are dealt. The restaurant opens before poker nights begin, and a pre-game menu offers quicker options for players on a schedule.
Order from your seat and have dishes delivered to the poker table. Designed to minimize disruption to live poker play, this service is available during designated poker nights.
Private dining options for poker groups and corporate events. The restaurant can accommodate larger parties, and custom menus are available for special poker events.
