Charred Kangaroo Loin
A modern Australian classic, seared over open flame and finished with native pepperberry jus. Served with roasted root vegetables and bush tomato chutney, it is a bold yet refined centerpiece for the evening.
The Art of Evening Dining
Dining at Sorteeouro
Experience refined dining in an Art Deco-inspired setting where every evening is an occasion. The room is framed by geometric lines and warm light, while the kitchen composes dishes that feel both precise and generous. From the first aperitif to the final dessert, the evening is designed to unfold at a graceful pace before the card lounge begins its own quiet rhythm.
A Culinary Philosophy
Crafted for the Evening
Crafted for the Evening
Our kitchen celebrates the ritual of evening dining, where each dish is composed to complement the ambiance of the card lounge. We begin with seasonal Australian produce sourced from local growers, then apply classic techniques with contemporary presentation. Menus are designed to pair with the social rhythm of the evening, so a course never competes with conversation. The result is food that feels considered rather than theatrical, and a table that invites guests to linger.
An Invitation to Savor
Dining at Sorteeouro is not rushed; it is an unhurried prelude to the poker tables, encouraging conversation and connection. Courses are timed to allow relaxed socializing, and service staff are trained in discreet, attentive hospitality. The room itself supports this pace, with low lighting and acoustic design that keeps voices intimate. By the time dinner concludes, the transition to the card lounge feels natural rather than abrupt.
Signature Dishes
A Study in Flavor and Form
Three dishes define the Sorteeouro table. Each is built around premium Australian produce, presented with a respect for geometry, and designed to be remembered long after the evening ends.
Tasmanian Salmon en Papillote
Delicate salmon steamed in parchment with citrus, fennel, and herbs, opened tableside. Light, aromatic, and visually striking, it pairs well with the transition to the card lounge.
Art Deco Chocolate Sphere
A theatrical dessert: a dark chocolate sphere melted with warm caramel to reveal layers of praline and cream. Inspired by the venue's geometric motifs, it is a memorable finale before the poker tables.
The Dining Room
An Architectural Jewel
The dining room is a study in Art Deco geometry: symmetrical lines, gilded accents, and intimate lighting that flatters both the cuisine and the company. Original-inspired Deco motifs and fan patterns appear in the joinery and glass, while warm, low-level lighting creates an evening ambiance that feels private even in a full room. The acoustic design keeps conversation intimate, so the room never becomes loud. Tables are spaced to allow service staff to move quietly, and each place setting is arranged with the same attention to symmetry that defines the architecture.
The Evening Ritual
From Dinner to the Card Lounge
An evening at Sorteeouro follows a deliberate sequence, allowing each part of the night to build on the last.
Arrival and Aperitif
Guests are welcomed into the lounge for a pre-dinner drink, setting the tone for the evening. Signature cocktails and non-alcoholic options are available, along with time to settle into the Art Deco surroundings.
Dinner Service
A multi-course dinner is served at a relaxed pace, allowing for conversation and anticipation. Service is attentive but unobtrusive, and dishes are designed to be savored rather than rushed.
Transition to the Card Lounge
After dinner, guests may move to the poker tables for an evening of offline play in a refined setting. Poker chips and decks are provided as table accessories, and the lounge maintains the same elegant atmosphere.
Private Dining Options
An Exclusive Setting
Sorteeouro offers private dining rooms for intimate gatherings, celebrations, or corporate evenings, each with access to the card lounge. Customizable menus and seating arrangements allow the evening to be shaped around your guests, while dedicated service staff ensure that every detail is handled. Whether you are hosting a small dinner or a larger reception, the private rooms provide the same Art Deco character with an added sense of occasion.
