Book NowAbout Daph's Restaurant
Twenty seats on Oxford Street, wood smoke, and an open-fire degustation structured so nobody leaves hungry. Diners slide up to the counter and hand control over to the kitchen—watching pork belly crisp and cheese-injected kimchi bread bubble over coals. The crew pours matched wines with relaxed rhythm while the chefs banter across the bench. Leederville regulars treat both the monthly menu rotations and the generous Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding as locked-in rituals.
- Rotating Open-Fire Degustation: A multi-course tasting menu cooked over open coals that changes regularly, with portions structured to leave diners genuinely full.
- Wood-Fired Sunday Roast: A dedicated weekend service serving three hearty courses, from crisp pork belly to roast trimmings and paired wines.
- Chef's Table Hearth Seating: An intimate 20-seat space where diners sit directly in front of the wood fire stove to watch chefs finish each plate.
