How we read reviews →Punch Lane wine house with 150+ wines by the glass and refined modern European plates
Warm, softly lit and polished without being stiff. A cosy ground-floor room, a glass-fronted cellar upstairs and a private dining room set a confident, wine-led tone that still feels welcoming.
150+ wines by the glass from a 1,000+ label list, a cellar of roughly 4,000 bottles, sommelier-led pairings, seasonal truffle dinners and a private dining room upstairs.
Modern European cooking with Australian produce and a Nordic-leaning, seafood-focused streak. Not a heritage cuisine; the identity is wine-first contemporary dining.
Premium pricing (about $210 per head with two glasses each, per one diner), but most reviewers call the food and rare wines by the glass fair for the standard. A few find the portions small.
