Fire cooking around our custom hearth, Latin American flavours, a patio to settle into and Barra Norté for drinks.

Norté is built around fire. Our custom hearth sits at the heart of the restaurant, with the kitchen wrapped around it and the patio opening out beyond. It's where wood-fired heat brings another layer to everything we make, and where you can watch the chefs work the flames and hear the crackle of the wood.

Fire is central to cooking across Latin America, but so is generosity — food made to be shared, passed around and enjoyed together, with a little theatre along the way.

Drop in for a drink at Barra Norté for a signature cocktail or a selection of South American, European and Australian wines.

For larger occasions, the private dining room joins with Norté Bar to hold up to 100 guests for a cocktail function, offering two spaces for dining and mingling.

Behind the main dining room, Norté Bar is an intimate setting for cocktail receptions, canapé events and late-night celebrations, and the natural place to carry the evening on once dinner is done. Together, the two give you room to move through the night rather than stay in one spot.

Chef's Table

Beside the open kitchen and the wood-fired hearth, the Chef's Table seats 12 across three elevated tables, a front-row seat to the pace and precision of service.

From the Chef's Table, guests can watch the kitchen at work as dishes come together over the wood-fired hearth, offering a closer connection to the food and the team behind it. The experience pairs Norté's signature shared dining menus with the atmosphere and energy of service, making it ideal for groups looking for something a little different.
