Dining at Card Atticbourke

An elevated dining experience awaits, where refined cuisine meets the thrill of live poker.

The restaurant offers a sophisticated menu designed to complement the atmosphere of the poker lounge and card room. Guests can enjoy a meal before, during, or after their poker sessions, with dishes crafted to satisfy without distraction. The dining room features the same dark, premium aesthetic as the poker tables, creating a seamless transition between play and dining.

The Culinary Philosophy

Exceptional food should enhance the focus and enjoyment of every moment at the poker table.

Our kitchen is driven by a simple idea: exceptional food should enhance the focus and enjoyment of every moment at the poker table. The menu features seasonal, locally sourced ingredients prepared with precision and restraint.

Dishes are designed to be enjoyed without interrupting the flow of a poker game, with balanced flavors and elegant presentation. The restaurant's ambiance mirrors the card lounge, with warm wood, deep green, and brass accents creating a cohesive atmosphere across the venue.

Every plate is composed to keep you present — whether you are studying the felt or savouring the pause between hands.

Menu Categories

A menu shaped for every stage of your visit

Our menu is organized into distinct categories, each crafted to suit different moments of your visit, from pre-game starters to late-night indulgences.

Starters & Small Plates

Begin with intention

Starters and small plates are perfect for sharing before a poker session, with bright, composed bites that never weigh you down.

Main Courses

Dine without distraction

Main courses offer hearty, satisfying options for a full dinner, built to sustain focus through long evenings at the poker tables.

Desserts

A refined finish

Desserts and after-dinner drinks provide a refined finish to the evening, closing the night with the same precision as the final hand.

Signature Dishes

Three plates that define the room

Each signature dish is composed to match the rhythm of the venue — substantial enough for a long poker night, precise enough to feel like a deliberate indulgence.

Signature 01

The Bourke Cut

A perfectly seared grass-fed beef fillet, served with a red wine reduction and roasted seasonal vegetables, designed to sustain you through a long poker night. Sourced from local Australian farms, cooked to order and rested for optimal flavor.

Pairs well with a full-bodied red wine from our cellar.
