Signature Dishes

Three plates define the Fortune and Ember kitchen. Each one is built for late nights, bold flavor, and the rhythm of the card room.

Ember-Grilled Ribeye with smoked potato purée

Ember-Grilled Ribeye

A perfectly charred ribeye, seasoned with native Australian spices and served with smoked potato purée. Cooked over an open flame for a smoky flavor that lingers between bites, it has become a favorite among high roller poker players who want a main course that matches the intensity of the table.

Neon Prawn Skewers with charred lime

Neon Prawn Skewers

Succulent prawns marinated in a citrus-chili glaze, grilled and served with a side of charred lime. Inspired by the neon lights of the card room, they are perfect for sharing during a Texas Hold'em tournament break without ever leaving the action.

Midnight Chocolate Fondant with vanilla bean ice cream

Midnight Chocolate Fondant

A rich chocolate fondant with a molten center, served with vanilla bean ice cream and a dusting of edible gold. A decadent end to a late-night meal, it pairs well with a post-game coffee as the room winds down.

Wood-Fired Grill Section

Our wood-fired grill uses ironbark and red gum, imparting a unique Australian smokiness to every cut. Meats are sourced from local NSW farms, and the grill is visible from the dining area, adding to the atmosphere as flames rise behind the pass.

"Fire is the first card we play. Everything else follows from that heat."

Grill Selection

  • Lamb Cutlets — frenched, charred, and finished with rosemary salt.
  • Pork Belly — slow-cooked then grilled until the crackling shatters.
  • Whole Barramundi — a nod to Australian coastal cuisine, grilled over open flame.

Each dish is served with a choice of sides, prepared to order while you play.

Late-Night Bites

Our late-night bites include truffle fries, salt and pepper calamari, and mini wagyu sliders, designed for easy eating at the table. Served until 3 AM, portions are shareable and don't require utensils, so the game never has to pause.

Truffle Fries

Crisp, golden, and finished with truffle salt and parmesan.

Salt and Pepper Calamari

Lightly fried with chili, spring onion, and a squeeze of lemon.

Mini Wagyu Sliders

Three bite-sized burgers with caramelized onion and smoky aioli.

Dining Experience and Poker Room Integration

Dine at the bar, in the lounge, or at a dedicated poker table. Our staff ensures your meal never interrupts your game. Food can be ordered from the poker tables, and the card room and dining area share the same neon-lit ambiance, so the transition from a hand to a plate feels seamless.
