DETAILSThe Duchess is a beautifully furnished space swathed in a feminine palette of gold, beige, mahogany and crimson. It is both sumptuous and sophisticated. Pendant crystal chandeliers dangle gracefully from the ceiling over the long marble bar, flaunting their polished glow. Patrons can sit at bar benches and stools, or regular table seating towards the back of the room and outside on the patio. Unique design embellishments from Moorish styled column art to vintage mirrors and candelabras add a unique flavour to the space contributing to the warm, inviting atmosphere.
FOOD & BEVERAGEHead Chef Adam Giddings delivers both small and substantial plates featuring Modern Australian bar food with a touch of grandeur. The menu incorporates dishes like baked camembert with rosemary served with crostini, soft shell crab lightly dusted on a bean shoot and daikon salad and Yellowtail Kingfish ceviche. Charcuterie and cheese boards are available for groups who wish to share, and there are also gourmet pizzas. The wine list features international and local drops with a focus on pink, French rose and rose bubbles. Duchess also boasts a large variety of top-shelf spirits with a strong Vodka focus.
