Modern Australian Dining, After Dark
A supper club where Australian hospitality, chef-led cuisine and intimate poker evenings come together beneath smoked timber and copper-lit ceilings.
Where Australian hospitality meets supper club theatre
Welcome to a supper club where Australian hospitality meets culinary artistry and memorable social evenings. Inspired by the country’s vibrant food culture, Turnand Truffle brings together local produce, bold flavours and relaxed sophistication.
Our kitchen celebrates modern Australian cooking – showcasing coastal seafood, pasture-raised meats and seasonal vegetables from trusted producers. Each dish is plated with the precision of fine dining, yet grounded in the warmth of a neighbourhood favourite.
Beyond the plate, evenings at Turnand Truffle unfold slowly: cocktails in the bar, shared plates around the table, then for those wishing to linger, hosted offline poker nights in a dedicated space, guided by experienced hosts and tailored to social play.

Begin with an aperitif at the bar – perhaps a native botanical spritz or a stirred whisky cocktail – while the dining room glows under moody pendant lights.
-
02Settle into a chef-led menu
Move to your table for a seasonal menu that might feature Fremantle octopus, Copper River salmon, macadamia barley risotto and wood-grilled cuts from the Josper.

03Stay on for social poker
For guests 18+ who wish to extend the night, our team hosts relaxed, in-person poker sessions in a dedicated room – no online play, no accounts, just a well-run, social game.

From grass-fed beef and Cool Climate wines to native herbs, finger limes and macadamias, our menus lean into Australian growers, fishers and makers wherever possible.
