PRODUCE & CRAFTSMANSHIP
We celebrate technique in the kitchen, craftsmanship on the table and produce on the plate.
Every dish has its own story to tell – from the origin of a local ingredient and its producer, to a special technique applied in the kitchen, and even to the plate itself. Ask our Mode Kitchen & Bar team about our hand-crafted high-fired stoneware plates made by Melbourne’s Robert Gordon or the secrets to our 400’C woodfire oven.
SIGNATURE COCKTAILS
Simplicity sings when it comes to our cocktails. We let the flavours do the talking.
Our bartenders at Mode Kitchen & Bar will tell you, when it comes to cocktails, they adore the classics – taking something timeless and adding their own subtle modern twist. The result is a shortlist of signature classic cocktails executed exceptionally well, using only the finest ingredients and with minimal but fresh garnishes.
