From the Gold Coast to the Dandenong Ranges, we’ve curated a list of standout venues offering not just sensational cuisine, but private spaces designed for memorable moments.
Here’s where to book when you want the room - and the flavour - all to yourself.
Social Eating House & Bar – Broadbeach, Qld
Tucked beneath the sleek Oracle building in Broadbeach, Social Eating House & Bar delivers on its name with understated sophistication and warm, rustic charm.

A sultry collision of tradition and innovation, Miss Mi brings Pan-Asian flair to the heart of Perth. Step inside and you’re instantly transported - geometric tile floors and dramatic murals set the tone, while the aromas of lemongrass, soy and spice invite you to indulge. Chef Alex De Leon crafts each dish with precision and reverence for the Asian culinary canon, drawing on a tapestry of influences and local produce to deliver something familiar yet entirely fresh.
Ideal for both corporate soirées and intimate gatherings, Miss Mi’s two semi-private dining rooms offer a chic, versatile space. Elevated slightly above the main restaurant and framed by mosaic tile walls, these rooms can be joined to host larger groups. The private dining menu is as exciting as the setting, with chilli crab dumplings, beef tartare with truffle yolk and pan-seared duck breast with soybean curry among the hero dishes. Whether you choose a canapé-style affair or long-table feast, every bite is a celebration.

Argento Cucina – Fitzroy North, Vic
On a leafy stretch of Queens Parade, Argento Cucina is Fitzroy North’s answer to refined yet hearty Italian dining. This quaint gem exudes rustic elegance, with fretted bay windows and weathered brick lending a nostalgic touch to a venue designed for slow meals and rich conversation. It’s the kind of place where the clink of cutlery mingles with the scent of garlic and basil - and where every dish arrives with a story.
Argento’s private dining offering centres around a large share table that comfortably seats 14, making it ideal for small functions. The menu is a loving nod to tradition with just enough modern flourish. Begin with Spring Bay mussels in white wine and chilli or rosemary calamari salad with citrus mayo, then move on to rolled veal with red wine sugo and creamy polenta. It’s food that invites you to lean in, pour another glass of Chianti and keep the evening going.
