LUXE Woollahra officially launched in May with a party held at their premises on Queen Street. Occupying the former site of Bill’s, the venue which opened in September 2013 offers café dining, bakery services and catering.

Brunch and lunch are popular options and LUXE has recently started serving a dinner menu.
Richard’s Grilled Peppers with Shaved Walnut ($12) makes a good choice for an appetiser, packing a little heat which is offset by the creaminess of the cheese. The Pressed Ham Hock, Lentils and Sauce Gribiche ($14) is an absolute delight and the favourite dish at the time. The ham is succulent and full of flavour.
Salads and roast vegetables are a major feature of the menu and they often change daily. Roast Cauliflower ($8) comes with a confit of garlic, Roast Sweet Potato is topped with light coconut yoghurt and the Miso Eggplant ($8) with kale and pickled ginger is the dish you keep to yourself.
From the mains comes the Sticky Chicken with Fennel Slaw ($22), succulent, sweet and lightly spiced or you can order from the daily special such the succulent Whole Snapper, perfectly roasted with a lime salsa.
As a bakery, you would expect LUXE to come up with the sweet goods. If you’re looking to share, the Brown Sugar Pavlova with Persimmon and Yoghurt Cream ($12) is surprisingly light and not sickly sweet, while the Tahini Biscuit and Strawberry Jam Ice Cream Sandwich ($12) topped with fairy floss is a little indulgence best kept to yourself.
Whether it’s lunch with girlfriends or dinner for two, at LUXE Woollahra, fresh flavours, seasonality and good produce come together on a plate.
