Seasonal Produce
We work closely with Australian growers and producers to bring the best of each season to the table. Menus change regularly, allowing the kitchen to respond to what is at its peak rather than forcing ingredients into a fixed format.

Our Story
A Vision of Refined Gatherings
Sorteeouro was born from a desire to create a space where sophisticated dining and the social art of poker coexist in an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Our founders, a group of hospitality and design enthusiasts, imagined a venue that would feel less like a conventional restaurant and more like a private club from the golden age of Art Deco. Every choice, from the symmetry of the dining room to the weight of the cards on the lounge tables, is intended to slow the evening down and draw people back into the room.
The result is a distinctly Australian expression of that vision. We celebrate local produce, local craftsmanship, and the easy confidence of Sydney's evening culture, while honouring the international design language that made Art Deco so enduring. Above all, Sorteeouro is a place for in-person connection: a shared table, a considered conversation, and the quiet satisfaction of a game played with care.
Art Deco Philosophy
Geometry and Glamour
Our space is a tribute to Art Deco's architectural symmetry, featuring geometric patterns, gilded accents, and intimate lighting that create an exclusive evening ambiance. Custom-designed interiors use premium materials throughout, from the polished stone of the entry to the lacquered timber of the lounge. Attention to detail is not an afterthought; it is the principle that shapes every corner, every sightline, and every place setting. The result is an environment that feels composed rather than decorated, where guests can move easily between the energy of the dining room and the focus of the card lounge.
Culinary Excellence
A Menu of Distinction
Our chefs craft a seasonal menu that celebrates Australian produce with refined techniques, presented as edible works of art. Each plate is composed with the same geometric discipline that defines our interiors, balancing flavour, texture, and visual rhythm.
Signature Presentation
Our signature dishes are designed to be memorable before the first bite. Art Deco-inspired plating, gold leaf accents, and careful symmetry turn each course into a small architectural moment, while the flavours remain generous and grounded in Australian ingredients.
Wine & Cocktails
A considered list of Australian and international wines sits alongside a cocktail program that echoes the venue's gilded palette. Our sommelier and mixologists are available to guide pairings that extend the evening without overwhelming the table.
The Card Lounge
Social Poker, Elevated
Our card lounge offers a refined setting for face-to-face poker, where the focus is on strategy, camaraderie, and the pleasure of the game. Professional tables are arranged to encourage conversation as much as competition, with structured social formats that welcome both experienced players and those learning the rhythm of the room.
Etiquette and dress code are part of the experience. We ask guests to treat the lounge as they would a fine dining room: with attention, respect, and a willingness to be present. The result is an evening that feels exclusive without being intimidating, and social without losing its sense of occasion.
