Dining at the Card Table
The restaurant at Cardhousesout Herncross is designed to feel like a natural extension of the card lounge—bright, comfortable, and focused on quality. It's a space where serious poker players and casual diners can enjoy a meal without leaving the venue.
Menu Philosophy
Our kitchen focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from Sydney's best producers. The menu changes regularly to reflect what's available, ensuring every visit offers something new.
Many dishes are designed to be enjoyed without interrupting play. From one-handed bites to full meals, the menu caters to players who want to eat at the table or take a break between poker games.
The bar offers a curated selection of wines, local beers, and non-alcoholic options. Whether you're celebrating a win or relaxing after a poker tournament, there's a drink to match.
Signature Dishes
A perfectly grilled grass-fed steak served with roasted vegetables and a red wine jus. A hearty choice for players settling in for a long poker night.
A crisp Caesar salad with cos lettuce, shaved parmesan, sourdough croutons, and a light anchovy dressing. A fresh option for players who prefer something lighter.
A creamy risotto with spinach, peas, and lemon zest, finished with pecorino. The vibrant green echoes the poker tables, making it a playful yet elegant choice.
