Golden Marquee Adelaide
Golden Marquee is a premium restaurant in the heart of Adelaide, pairing refined modern Australian cuisine with a sophisticated garden pavilion setting. As the sun sets, the venue transitions into an atmospheric Card Lounge where offline poker comes alive around physical poker tables.
The Dining Philosophy
Our kitchen celebrates the best of modern Australian dining, with a menu that changes with the seasons and showcases local produce. Dishes are crafted with precision and creativity, blending native ingredients with classic techniques. The menu features a balance of seafood, premium meats, and vibrant vegetarian options. Every plate is designed to be shared and savoured, encouraging a convivial dining experience.
The dining room is bathed in natural light by day and transforms into a warm, intimate space by night. The pavilion architecture features high ceilings, glass walls, and lush greenery, creating a garden marquee feel. Tables are spaced generously, allowing for private conversations and a relaxed pace. The transition from daylight to evening is seamless, with soft lighting and candles enhancing the mood.
Signature Dishes
Three dishes that capture the creativity and local character of our menu.
A modern Australian classic, served with native pepperberry jus, roasted beetroot, and a bush tomato chutney. The kangaroo is cooked to a perfect medium-rare, offering a lean yet tender texture. The pepperberry jus adds a subtle heat and earthy depth, balanced by the sweetness of the beetroot. This dish is a favourite among locals and visitors alike.
Fresh South Australian kingfish, grilled over charcoal and finished with a citrus and herb salad. The kingfish is sourced daily from local waters, ensuring exceptional freshness. The char from the grill imparts a smoky flavour that pairs beautifully with the bright citrus. Served with a side of roasted fennel and a light olive oil dressing.
A decadent dessert featuring rich dark chocolate, native wattle seed, and a crisp pastry shell. The wattle seed adds a nutty, coffee-like flavour that complements the chocolate. Served with a dollop of double cream and a sprinkle of toasted macadamia. A perfect ending to a memorable meal.
Cocktails and Wine
Our bar team crafts cocktails that reflect the Australian landscape, using native botanicals and premium spirits. Try the 'Golden Marquee Spritz' with coastal botanicals and a hint of wattle. The 'Pavilion Negroni' is a smoky twist on the classic, perfect for pre-dinner. Non-alcoholic options are equally considered, with house-made sodas and shrubs.
Our wine list showcases the best of South Australian vineyards, with a focus on small producers and sustainable practices. From crisp Rieslings to bold Shiraz, there is a wine to match every dish. Our sommelier is available to guide you through the list and suggest pairings. We also offer a selection of local craft beers and ciders.
The Garden Pavilion
The dining room is housed within a stunning garden pavilion, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls that blur the line between indoors and out. By day, sunlight streams through the canopy, illuminating the elegant table settings and lush greenery. The architecture is inspired by classic marquees, with a modern twist that feels both grand and welcoming. As evening falls, the space is transformed with soft, warm lighting that creates an intimate and romantic mood.
Every detail has been considered, from the custom furniture to the curated art, to create a space that is both refined and comfortable. The colour palette of canvas white, coastal aqua, and deep forest green echoes the natural surroundings. Tables are dressed with crisp linens and bespoke tableware, adding to the sense of occasion. The layout allows for both intimate dinners and larger group celebrations.
From Dinner to Offline Poker
As the last course is cleared, Golden Marquee reveals its other side: a sophisticated Card Lounge where offline poker comes alive. Offline poker is exactly what it sounds like—real people, face-to-face, around physical poker tables. No screens, no online play; just the shuffle of cards, the clink of neutral chips, and the camaraderie of live poker. Our Card Lounge is designed for both seasoned players and curious beginners, with friendly hosts to guide you.
