Rubyos York Street

Rubyos is dreaming far beyond classic flavour pairings and all things tried-and-tested. Presenting a novel collision of Asian and Eastern Mediterranean flavours, this eatery is bold, ambitious and one-of-a-kind.

Such unique food deserves an equally unique setting. Rubyos' lavish bistro is perfect, creating an air of exclusivity with a seductive East-meets-West aesthetic. At the centre of it all is the opulent bar, covered with geometric tiles and an eye-catching red backdrop. As for the tables, these glossy furnishings are placed under stunning, contemporary lanterns that are as romantic as they are works of art. A place that is worlds away from the mundane every day, Rubyos is a celebration of the finer, most beautiful things in life.

In their own words, life's too short for boring food. And their menu stays true to this philosophy. Designed to be shared by everyone, their small plates are the perfect prelude. You'll find Koshihikari and black rice fishcakes paired with a marinated seaweed salad, charred eggplant with a tomato and cashew cream and Peking duck pancakes with a five-spice plum sauce.

Moving on and humble rice and noodles are elevated with garlic prawns, turmeric roasted cauliflower and grilled squid for your pleasure. Finally, if you fancy your own plate, indulge all the senses with a yellow chicken breast curry, wagyu beef rump steak with seasonal greens and local barramundi fillet with harissa labne. Of course, delicious innovation doesn't stop at the food. Such an evening of indulgence demands a Buttered Old Fashioned or glass of East India Punch. When it comes to life's secret pleasures, Rubyos has all the answers.
