The Art of the Signature Plate

A signature plate is more than a popular dish—it's a reflection of our culinary identity, perfected over time and loved by our guests. These are the dishes that have become synonymous with City Table House, offering consistent quality and presentation while often featuring a unique ingredient or technique.

Chef's Selection Process

  • Seasonal ingredients drive the menu. We build each plate around what is at its peak right now.
  • Guest favourites are refined over time. Feedback from diners helps us perfect every element.
  • Each plate has a narrative connection to the region. From coastal seafood to outback flavours, every dish tells a story.

Ingredient Sourcing

We partner with local farmers and producers to ensure the freshest ingredients, from coastal seafood to free-range meats and organic vegetables. Local sourcing reduces food miles, supports sustainable practices, and lets seasonal menus reflect true availability.

Our Signature Plates

Four dishes that capture the heart of City Table House. Each one is built around premium Australian produce and a clear point of view.

Charred kangaroo loin sliced into medallions with rosemary and dark jus

Charred Kangaroo Loin

A modern Australian classic, our kangaroo loin is seared over open flame and served with native pepperberry jus, roasted beetroot, and wattleseed crumble. The lean, gamey flavour is balanced by earthy beetroot, while native ingredients add depth and a sense of place. Cooked to medium-rare for tenderness, this dish is a bold introduction to our kitchen.

Pan-seared barramundi fillet with crispy skin on lemon myrtle risotto

Pan-Seared Barramundi

Crispy-skinned barramundi fillet on a bed of lemon myrtle risotto, finished with a citrus beurre blanc and micro herbs. Barramundi is a sustainable Australian fish with a clean, sweet flavour, and lemon myrtle adds a unique citrus note that lifts the creamy risotto. It is a lighter signature that still feels indulgent.

Slow-braised lamb shoulder with polenta, heirloom carrots, and red wine jus

Slow-Braised Lamb Shoulder

Tender lamb shoulder braised for eight hours with rosemary and garlic, served with creamy polenta, roasted heirloom carrots, and a rich red wine jus. Slow cooking enhances the deep, savoury flavour and creates a comforting, hearty plate that feels like a warm evening meal. Seasonal vegetables accompany the dish, grounding it in the present moment.

Rack of lamb with native thyme and macadamia crust, sweet potato purée, and Davidson plum glaze

Native Herb-Crusted Lamb Rack

Rack of lamb coated in a crust of native thyme and macadamia, served with sweet potato purée and a Davidson plum glaze. Native herbs provide a unique, aromatic lift, macadamia adds a satisfying crunch, and the Davidson plum glaze brings a bright tartness that cuts through the richness. It is an elegant, distinctly Australian plate.

From Our Chef

Our chef believes that a signature plate should tell a story of place and season, using ingredients that speak for themselves. The focus is on simplicity and respect for produce—each dish reflects a memory, a tradition, or a landscape, and is constantly refined based on guest feedback.

From coastal influences to outback flavours, the signature plates draw on Australia's diverse culinary landscape. Native ingredients are celebrated, international techniques are adapted, and seasonal changes keep the menu dynamic and alive.

Seasonal Selections

Our menu evolves with the seasons, highlighting the best produce available right now. Spring brings asparagus, peas, and citrus; summer features stone fruits and seafood; autumn and winter focus on root vegetables and game.

Seared scallops on cauliflower purée with crispy pancetta and brown butter sage sauce

Featured Seasonal Dish: Seared Scallops

This season, try our seared scallops with cauliflower purée, crispy pancetta, and a brown butter and sage sauce. The scallops are sweet and tender, the cauliflower purée adds a silky creaminess, and the pancetta provides a salty, savoury contrast. It is a dish that captures the freshness of the moment.
