Positioned within the thriving arts precinct, redefining the historic venue of the old school hall basement of MacKenzie Quarters, Ms Batterhams leans into the history of the space whilst sparkling European sophistication to the interiors. Luscious velvet green coaches cuddle you, whilst contrasting light brown leather fluted stool chairs balance the lounge area. It’s a warm welcome to the bespoke Batterhams basement, only heated up by the hearty menu, refined wine list, locally inspired cocktails and wide selection of craft beers. 

The speakeasy style setting is open from Monday through Sunday for a la carte service in the evening with two sittings available, the first at 5pm and the second at 7.30pm. Friday and Saturday add lunch service from 12pm until 2.30pm and drinks and bites from 2.30pm until 5pm. On Fridays and Saturday evenings groups of 6 or more will be treated to the seasonally-inspired chefs menu as designed by Head Chef Travis Rodwell. At $110pp this option features four savoury dishes, designed to be shared at the table and you can expect to be wowed by the expert curation. Smaller tables will have the options of Chef’s Menu or a la carte.                            

The current chefs menu boasts scallops, Swiss chard, and smoked parsnip purée, seafood and squid ink wet rice, Harissa kangaroo skewer with quince and pumpkin purée, black onyx shortrib with PX jus, artichoke puree, and pickles apple, and finally the roasted brussel sprouts, tahini goats curd, raisin dressing. Each dish is decorated by a hero wine pairing taking you on a trip to France to vines across Vouvray, Bandol and Bordeaux.

If that’s not gastronomy in all its glory, we don’t know what is!
