About the restaurant

It's perfect for bottomless brunch and Italian‑style bakery treats in the city centre
You need to try their celebrated pastries—a “lard ass butter croissant” or wood‑fired scallops glossed in smoke
Look out for a baked goods counter and a full restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner

The sister restaurant of Aru, Antara was conceived as a restaurant and bakery, united by a wood oven that fuels the two. The eatery serves up breads, viennoiserie and breakfast in the mornings, with the lunch and dinner menu built around coal and wood fire cooking, seasonality and an approach that draws on Head Chef Juan's Chilean heritage and dishes created around the produce. Housed within a sleek and moody industrial-style space, the huge open kitchen with wood-burning oven adds a touch of drama to the ambience. Private events are well accommodated, with private and semi-private dining, and whole venue buy-out options available.
