Emphasis shifted to food made with local produce, shot menus and specialities such as house-made pasta, served to share in the middle of the table.Our aim at Osteria Morelli is to showcase all the beautiful produce of the Northern Rivers, using Italian techniques and principles. On our menu, you will find homemade pasta, daily baked focaccia, fruit and veggies from amazing local farmers and only the best meat and fish available on the day.

The Argyle is our new favourite place for dinner and drinks. The building is beautifully finished, the food is delicious, and the service is excellent. We have been many times now, and we always feel welcomed and well looked after. The outside courtyard is a lovely atmosphere for lunch or afternoon drinks, and the inside dining is stylish and comfortable. We are thrilled that the Argyle is our local venue to meet with friends and enjoy excellent food and wine.
