Our Story
At Dining Hearthside, we believe the best meals are cooked over fire, shared with friends, and followed by an evening of sophisticated play. Our open hearth is the heart of the restaurant, where chefs use native Australian woods and seasonal produce to create dishes that celebrate the country's diverse flavours.
We are a contemporary Australian restaurant in Adelaide, blending modern techniques with the primal appeal of open-fire cooking.
Our dining room is designed for connection—warm timber, soft lighting, and the glow of the hearth create an atmosphere that invites you to linger. From intimate dinners to celebratory gatherings, our space adapts to your occasion. After your meal, the Casino Lounge offers a refined setting for poker, roulette, and blackjack.
Open-Fire Kitchen
Our custom-built hearth burns a mix of ironbark and red gum, imparting a subtle smokiness that defines our cuisine. Chefs manage the fire throughout service, adjusting heat zones for grilling, roasting, and smoking. The hearth is visible from the dining room, making the kitchen a stage.
We work with local growers and producers to source the best seasonal vegetables, seafood, and meats. Our menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what is at its peak. From grilled prawns to charred heirloom carrots, every dish celebrates the ingredient.
Our signature dishes are designed to be shared, combining fire-kissed flavours with elegant plating. Try the whole roasted flounder with lemon myrtle butter or the 12-hour smoked beef short rib. Vegetarian options are equally celebrated, like the wood-roasted pumpkin with native pepper.
Cocktails & Wine
Our bar team creates cocktails that echo the smoky, earthy notes of the hearth. Try the Ember Old Fashioned with smoked bourbon and orange bitters, or the Native Botanicals Spritz with lemon myrtle and finger lime.
We also offer a curated list of Australian wines and craft beers, chosen to complement the fire-cooked menu.
Interiors
Our interiors blend natural materials—timber, stone, and linen—with soft, fire-inspired lighting to create a space that feels both rustic and refined. The dining room features an open hearth as the focal point, with tables arranged to allow views of the kitchen.
Private dining areas offer a more intimate setting for special occasions, while the overall atmosphere remains relaxed and welcoming.
