About Gourmet Kitchen Restaurant & Bar

Food is key to bringing people together at Gourmet Kitchen Restaurant & Bar on Margaret Street in Moonee Ponds. A relaxing and welcoming ambience sets the stage for a remarkable dining experience while an open kitchen offers glimpses of Chefs in action, as guests chill out on black wire chairs under geometrically shaped lights and ponder a global menu. Kick things off with kataifi wrapped prawns, lemon myrtle aioli, radish and coriander, or jamon and Manchego croquettes with paprika aioli; before chicken and chorizo paella, beans and housemade stock. Vegetarians opt for baked cauliflower steak, turmeric, ginger, garlic, chilli, almonds, quinoa and herb salad and tahini. Want to learn how to cook these dishes? Gourmet's cooking school is next door, offering classes from beginner to expert.

A few words from Gourmet Kitchen Restaurant & Bar

At GK we are all about bringing people together with great food! We have a beautiful Tapas Bar & Restaurant, complete with a a unique function space. And then our other business is our Cooking School.

Our menu has a wide selection of Tapas dishes, delicious Paella's infused with our homemade stocks and mouth-watering Mains. And then of course there is dessert! We focus on incorporating big flavours & exciting textures to create unique dishes that you will have you wanting more. Our menu has a balance of vegetarian, seafood and meat dishes as well as plenty of gluten free and vegan options.

We always source the best quality Australian ingredients and the same goes for our Cocktails! We like to take classic cocktails and put an Aussie spin on them by incorporating uniquely Australian flavours and top shelf spirits from Australia's best boutique distilleries. We also have a broad range of Craft Beers & Wines.

We've got quite a thing desserts too! Our extensive dessert menu highlights Laura's love for Patisserie. We make everything single element in house, from the mousses to macarons, caramels to crumbs. That way we can master the perfect balance for each mouthful. Finish your meal with a flavour explosion or arrange a dessert platter to die for for your next function.

Pop in for some Tapas & Cocktails, Paella Night or a Vegan 5 Course Banquet. Get your crew together for a night of free-flowing cocktails and a fun flavourful feast! We have the perfect atmosphere for a casual catch-up or a special occasion.
