    My experience was excellent - the staff, the food - the people at Attica have created a fantastic experience. I loved the indigenous food journey, trying some flavours I hadn’t experienced before. It was fabulous food, paired with equally fabulous wines - I had the non-alcoholic pairing and it was both creative and balanced with the dishes. Certainly lived up to the hype!! Highly recommended.

    The two of us arrived for my wife's birthday and having been sat at our table, my wife was presented with a glass of champagne, which was a lovely welcome. We had the perfect three course meal at around $100 a head with drinks. The food was first class and special, just as you'd wish for at a celebration meal. Without asking the waiters brought in desert with a candle and sang the traditional song - - just perfect. The restaurant is in first class order, spotless and well appointed bathrooms and the waiters are well mannered and chatty. I couldn't fault the entire experience!
