Every Lantern & Lore event begins with the feeling of a restaurant night out. Contemporary Australian cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, local wines and shared dining give guests a natural way to arrive, reconnect and stay a little longer. Food and drinks are part of the atmosphere rather than an assumed inclusion, leaving each occasion room to unfold in its own way—through conversation, a hosted dinner, a card table or a little friendly trivia.
