About the restaurant
Eate is a contemporary dining space in Newcastle that blends sophistication with an earthy, coastal spirit. The kitchen focuses on local, seasonal produce prepared with restraint and flair. Expect dishes like grilled octopus with smoked aioli, lamb shoulder with native herbs, and heirloom vegetables treated with care. The wine list is boutique and Australian-forward, while the fitout combines polished concrete, raw timbers, and warm lighting. Service is polished yet relaxed. With its focus on provenance, flavour, and balance, Eate delivers a refined regional dining experience that feels both grounded and elevated.
