About

This Eastern Mediterranean restaurant at the Burbury Hotel transforms the Realm Precinct into a corner of the Aegean, serving fusion dishes that draw from Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish traditions. The sleek interior features custom steel arches and Moroccan artisan touches, while the Josper grill creates street-food-style flavours reminiscent of Istanbul markets. You'll find yourself lingering over shared plates of house-made pide and muhammara, paired with cocktails like the Turkish Delight or wines from Lebanon's emerging scene. The covered outdoor terrace makes the most of Canberra's climate, while inside, the sophisticated atmosphere perfectly balances refined design with the relaxed spirit of Mediterranean dining.
