Dining at Card Atticbourke

A refined restaurant inside Canberra's most atmospheric poker venue, where every table is set for an evening of taste and play.

The restaurant at Card Atticbourke offers a menu designed to complement the rhythm of live poker. Guests can enjoy a full dinner before a poker night or lighter fare between hands.

Culinary Philosophy

Precision, patience, and a respect for the moment.

Our kitchen is built on the same principles as our poker room: precision, patience, and a respect for the moment. The menu features modern Australian cuisine with European influences, using seasonal local produce.

Dishes are designed to be enjoyed without interrupting the flow of a poker game—elegant, satisfying, and never heavy. Whether you are settling in for a long session or pausing between hands, the food is meant to keep you sharp and comfortable.

Signature Dishes

Three plates that define the room.

Signature

Charred Kangaroo Loin

A lean, flavorful cut served with native pepper jus and roasted root vegetables. A modern Australian classic that pairs well with a bold red wine, prepared to be enjoyed between poker hands without being too heavy.

The Dining Room

An extension of the card lounge.

The dining room is an extension of the card lounge: dark wood, leather seating, and soft lighting that invites conversation. Tables are spaced to allow privacy, yet the room feels connected to the energy of the poker floor. The decor features deep green accents and brass details that echo the poker tables.

Poker and Dining

A perfect pair for the whole night.

Pre-Game Dining

Arrive early and enjoy a relaxed meal before the cards are dealt. The kitchen opens before poker nights begin, so you can settle in without rushing. A well-chosen meal can help you stay focused during long sessions.

Interlude Bites

Take a break between hands with small plates and drinks delivered to the card lounge. Our staff can serve light fare directly to the poker tables, so you never miss a beat. This service is available during all poker nights.

Post-Game Celebrations

End the night with a shared dessert or a nightcap in the restaurant. The restaurant stays open late on poker nights to accommodate players. It's the perfect setting to discuss hands and unwind.
