Book NowAbout Petition
Set inside the restored brick bones of the State Buildings, Petition delivers modern Australian plates with sharp culinary focus. Dinner regulars skip the decision fatigue and lock in the Chef's Selection—a multi-course progression firing everything from chargrilled octopus with citrus aioli to precisely sliced beef tataki and succulent lamb rump. By day, the energy shifts to inventive CBD breakfasts, pouring solid brewed coffee alongside avocado toast or Turkish eggs. Tables spill out toward the heated terrace as the front-of-house crew balances easygoing charm with genuine pacing, timing each course down to the apple crumble cheesecake or a final signature cocktail.
