About

Award-winning Onzieme transforms a quiet Kingston corner into one of Australia's most celebrated neo-bistros, where Chef Louis Couttoupes writes an ever-changing menu on the restaurant's glass partition each day. The wood-fired cooking showcases foraged local ingredients and seasonal produce in dishes that span global influences, from mutton kibbeh with pickled turnips to kingfish skewers with yuzu sambal. Natural wines complement the rustic-meets-refined approach. Perfect for those seeking adventure in their dining, where each visit promises completely different flavours drawn from whatever's best that day.
