Japanese Yakitori – Tokyo BBQ
Craving authentic Japanese BBQ? Tokyo BBQ offers perfectly grilled skewers cooked with traditional Japanese techniques by Chester Chan, who brings his expertise from SHOSHO in Adelaide.
The Poffertjes Carousel
For a sweet treat, try the new Poffertjes Carousel, a rotating bar where you can enjoy Dutch mini pancakes topped with powdered sugar and your choice of toppings. The fun doesn’t stop there—every hour, the carousel turns into a stage, mixing humour and the delicious chaos of poffertjes-making.

Familiar Favourites
If you love a classic, don’t worry—there are plenty of returning favourites, including Gelatissimo, King Creole Southern Fried Chicken, and Bao Bao with their delicious steamed buns.
New Bars
Enjoy a cocktail at one of the new bars this season. Sip on a Margherita at Don Julio Bar, have a Tequila Sunrise at Retro Toucan Bar, or try a wild juice cocktail at Jungle Juice ‘n’ Jams while dancing the night away.
