Good food, gracious hospitality, and a pioneering spirit. These are all aspects that we have taken from our cultural background to bring you one of the most unique experiences that you will encounter. We hope you enjoy your journey with us at Rabbath. Our family escaped war torn Lebanon during the civil war of 1975 and settled in Australia. Like many before us seeking a peaceful life, Australia welcomed us with open arms, and right from the moment we arrived we called this beautiful, sacred land our home. Our passion in cuisine became part of our everyday life while growing up in Australia. The Syrian and Lebanese backgrounds in our parents’ heritage meant we were influenced by world-class cuisine and culture.

    Where to eat and what to order ? Glenelg Public House is EXCEPTIONAL- no other word for it. We have been there over 50 times in the past few years and have NEVER once had an imperfect meal. The wagyu eye, roasted pumpkin with orange sauce, mash potatoes, house made bread and butter-PERFECTION. Great atmosphere- cosy industrial styled dinning and great welcoming management. You will not be disappointed- generally you have to book ahead a few days or you won’t get a table- we would recommend to anyone wanting to get or have a truly magnificent steak. Love love love this place.

    I had a small work get together at Roji Cat last week, and I cannot fault the experience. The service was absolutely outstanding and we were served all night by happy, enthusiastic people. And the food? Fantastic, great authentic Japanese flavours and the huge selection of interesting Japanese sake's, wines and of course their own beer, made for a fun night of conversation and people trying each other's drinks! We spared the staff from our attempts at karaoke and were happy to finish off with some cool electronic darts. A great new place!
