PRIVATE FUNCTIONS AT OUR AWARD-WINNING RESTAURANTS
Private Dining at Aru
Aru is the most awarded restaurant in our group, with a menu distinguished by its modern take on Southeast Asian flavours and dishes, deft mingling of native Australian ingredients, and fun, playful creations.
The restaurant has two private dining areas - Banda, a beautiful spotted gum lined room that can be closed off from the restaurant and seats 12, and The Terrace, which seats 30 and has a view of Aru's wine wall.
Both spaces can be booked separately or together. The entire venue can also be hired out for private events.
Join us for a cocktail function, or a sit-down set menu for lunch and dinner.
