Every day / Franc's Bar & Diner
Franc’s offers a variety of options for special diets (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and more), so families, friends and colleagues can make choices from the same menu. Everyone brings something to the table, so let’s eat together!
Our menu is created and assembled by our chefs to offer a balance of creative, and nutritious dishes that can be enjoyed daily. We draw on our Americana influence and our love of contemporary street food for inspiration, offering a variety of tastes and textures that change with the seasons. We strive for balance and flavour over extreme dietary practices, and simple whole foods instead of the latest artificial invention.
All Day, Every Day / Birdie's Bar
Got some loose change and in need of a pick me up? What better combo than coffee and vodka and at Birdie's, for a mere $6 bucks.
While you're sipping away on that good news, here's a piece of trivia for you to snack on - this drink started life in 1983 at Soho House in London (the legendary place where Meghan and Harry went on their first date) when a model asked for something to "pick her up" and something more explicit we can't say out loud. The bartender was standing next to the coffee machine when this exchange went down and so the rest, as they say, is history!
R18. Normal host responsibility rules apply.
Saturday 7 September / Regatta Bar & Eatery
Our gorgeous Bottomless Rosé Lunch is back on 7 September.
Gather your gals for a rosé and guys for a brosé as you sit back and sip back on delicious mocktail spritzers, Jacob's Creek Le Petit Rosé and more while enjoying a delectable three course lunch for only $59 per person!
Enjoy all of this from our stunning sun-drenched and cosy restaurant with outstanding views across the water out to Rangitoto.
So whether it's for that long overdue catch up, your best friends b'day or because wine not? Get your crew together for the perfect day to wine and dine away your winter blues.
Much love to Jacob's Creek.
