The story

Agnes is built entirely around the concept of cooking on an open fire. Even the interior, kept minimal to highlight the heritage building it is housed in, is hearth-like. Spread over three levels, in three distinct areas – the main dining room, a wine bar and a terrace. At Agnes, the focus of the menu is the creative use of wood fire. No electricity, no gas, just fire. Our Executive Chef and co-owner, Ben Williamson, and his talented team strip cooking to its primordial elements. Even different types of wood - ironbark, apple wood, cherry wood and olive wood are all used to interact uniquely with the dishes and bring out their unique flavours.
