About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Cardiff's brand new Australian restaurant invites you to explore the exotic tastes of The Outback. Our menu looks to fuse the colours, flavours and textures of native Australian dishes with the sun-soaked freshness of contemporary Australian cuisine and the finesse of fine dining.

With a selection of sharing platters as well as our regular à la carte menu to choose from, you are invited to try out the exotic and unusual with prime cuts of ostrich, kangaroo, crocodile and world-renowned Wagyu beef served straight from the grill as either steaks, burgers or skewers. If you'd rather not venture too far into the unknown, we also have a beautiful selection of more classical cuts of meat such as wild boar, venison, steak, beef and chicken to choose from with accompanying sides and homemade sauces.The menu also offers a range of fresh seafood including native Australian barramundi fillet, swordfish steak and, of course, shrimps straight from the barbie!

    Food and service was good but 2 hours before we were supposed to arrive at the venue we received a phone call to tell us that they had moved premises so we went to the new one and it was only a little cafe and it still had old name above the door called truffles had no Aussie deco like the original restaurant in pictures and no ambiance if I had known this I would have not attended the restaurant as this was a special occasion .

    The first time I booked here we arrived and got turned away because there was a problem with the sewers. The second time I booked I had a text on the same day saying 'due to sewers being blocked we've had to cancel your table' so unfortunately I still haven't been to the Outback!
