Gimlet
RESTAURANT
Stepping into the elegant dining room on the ground floor of Cavendish House, a Chicago-style 1920s building in the CBD, you could swear this is an institution that’s married grandeur and comfort effortlessly for decades – rather than since 2020.

Theodore's
CAFE
Theodore’s (named after their one-year-old son), an all-day diner in the former Host Dining space hidden behind Sydney Road. It’s large enough that families have enough room to spread out and relax in whatever way suits.

Bar Margaux
BAR
Bar Margaux is dark, lively, and open late. The entrance is down a nondescript, utilitarian staircase. The door is plain and just says “MGX”, but when it opens you’re met with a vibrant buzz of music and chatter.
