Located in the buzzing heart of Darling Quarter, Darling Pavilion blends relaxed character with a breezy Mediterranean edge.
Set at the foot of Tumbalong Park and just a short stroll over the bridge from the CBD, the pavilion-style space has recently come under new hands, bringing a refreshed energy to one of the precinct’s most versatile pub-style venues.
The menu has been reimagined by Head Chef Giampiero Pinna and Executive Chef Jason Roberson, who take a playful approach to elevated pub dining. Expect an easy-going mix of share-friendly plates, Aussie pub favourites and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Think generous portions, familiar flavours and a focus on quality ingredients. It’s the kind of menu built for both spontaneous after-work feeds and long, lingering lunches.
An open-plan kitchen anchors the room, keeping the atmosphere lively as dishes roll out throughout the day. The drinks list keeps pace with a line-up of classic beers, crowd-pleasing wines and seasonally led signature cocktails, all designed to pair effortlessly with the laid-back food offering.
Darling Pavilion remains an all-day, all-occasion destination, whether you’re gathering the group, grabbing a park-side bite or settling in for a casual night out.
