We’re an Australian restaurant, both in location and in spirit.

We celebrate the incredible, unique ingredients found in this country and the many rich and varied culinary cultures it’s fostered – beginning thousands of years ago with the First Peoples who call this land home.

The experience you’ll have at Attica is informed by all of this, as well as the values we pursue each day: excellence, kindness, creativity and, of course, fun.

We believe in the unique, the unexpected and the surprising – and we love to meet new people.

Food was magnificent but wine pairing was disappointing Just why you would have mid level international wine with an indigenous based menu beggars belief when there is so much good win e in australia. there was also too much white and inadequate red wine served The non alcoholic paired beverages was outstandinhg

Hi John - I'm sorry to hear your reflection on the wines. We do have good 650 listings which are predominantly Australian. I'm really very sorry if we didn't find the opportunity to help guide you through. It's something we love to do and I'm sorry we missed that opportunity on this occassion
