About Lenox Avenue Rundle Street

Skip the sterile QR code ordering on Rundle Street—Lenox Avenue leans into warm, conversational hospitality and globally minded comfort food. The kitchen pivots seamlessly from crisp jalapeño poppers, dumplings, and fragrant garlic fried rice to slow-braised lamb shank that pulls away cleanly at the touch of a fork. Regulars pair pink steak with punchy chimichurri or order the juicy cheeseburger beside a quiet pint, before wrapping up the table with a warm slice of sticky date pudding.

  • Eclectic Global Fare: A flexible spread pairing garlic fried rice and dumplings with jalapeño poppers and pork belly.
  • Bistro Comforts: Tender slow-braised lamb shank over buttery mash alongside pink scotch fillet steak cut with chimichurri.
  • Old-School Table Service: Attentive, conversational front-of-house hospitality that ditches contactless QR codes for personal care.

  • Eclectic Plates Made for Sharing

    Classic Western bistro favorites are paired effortlessly alongside shared plates like pork belly, squid, and dumplings.

    We decided to get 3 mains to share between the two of us - garlic fried rice, the pork belly, and the Mexican beef bowl which was our favourite!
