PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIAAs refreshing as the cocktail that lends Tom Collins its name, this classy venue offers city diners a choice of casual booths and sunny outdoor spaces in the bistro area or more up-market seating in the intimate atmosphere of its fine dining room. It’s a stylish destination for anyone seeking a convenient breakfast, smart corporate lunch or late Friday night supper spot and has a flexible modern menu that offers gourmet pizzas and pasta as well as European inspired mains such as rolled pork belly with wholegrain mustard mash, apple and sultana chutney and rosemary jus.
Open only on weekdays, Tom Collins caters to a business crowd looking for a bit of indulgence. Breakfast might see you enjoying your eggs benedict or French toast outdoors in the sun, while lunchtime options include house-made gnocchi, a Wagyu rump steak sandwich or grilled lamb cutlets with tabouleh salad and harissa dressing. Take it up a notch in the evenings with a separate menu and the clubby leather seating and beautiful wooden feature wall of the more intimate fine dining room. Live bands and DJs on Friday nights also make this a popular destination for office drinks and snacks at the end of a working week.
