Lalla Rookh Bar and Eating House

Lalla Rookh is an inner city local. Head down from Monday to Saturday for drinks, lunch and dinner, or grab a delicious bottle of wine to takeaway.

Their modern Italian menu is influenced by Head Chef, Alexandra Haynes’ experiences throughout Italy; drawing on seasonal and coastal cues, not a point on a map.

Those in the know tend to trust them and opt for the il Capo. It’s a ‘let us feed you’ menu where they serve up six seasonal specials as a series of shared plates. Enough to feed the whole table, this is the best way to get the full Lalla Rookh experience. 

Not in a mood to share? Try their individual dishes, Lalla Rookh classics and seasonal specials like Alexandra’s crab spaghetti, grilled octopus or smoked pork neck.

Sommelier, Jeremy Prus oversees a globally influenced wine list with a particular focus on Italian and Australian regions.

They don’t forget those looking for a different drop: their bar pours a range of craft beer and cider on tap alongside a finely tuned mix of cocktails.
