The jewel in the crown of multi-level venue Shell House, The Dining Room is classic in theory, yet modern and forward-thinking in practice. It manages to be elegant, grand and yet approachable, all at the same time. The menu, created by culinary director Joel Bickford and head chef Jarrod Walsh, focuses on carefully sourced produce. It presents simple but refined dishes infused with Australian provenance while also bearing the mark of the unmistakably unhurried, generous Mediterranean way of life.

The Saturday Lunch Set Menu at The Shell House Dining Room is a considered way to settle into the weekend. It’s designed for a long, relaxed lunch.

Guests are invited to take their place in the sunlit Dining Room and be guided through a three-course menu curated by culinary director Joel Bickford. Beginning with a selection of shared entrees that celebrate seasonal produce, the experience moves into a composed main of Murray Cod with cavolo nero, fennel and bonito butter, served alongside thoughtful sides, before finishing with a light and expressive dessert.

For those looking to elevate the experience, the menu can be paired with a glass of Ruinart R de Ruinart Brut NV Champagne, bringing a real sense of occasion to the afternoon.

Set against the elegant surrounds of the Dining Room, it’s a refined yet relaxed way to experience one of the city’s best dining rooms.

The Saturday Lunch Set Menu is $125pp, or $150pp with a glass of Champagne. ​​This offer is available throughout May for Saturday lunch only. Bookings essential. Make your reservation here.
