Forget the Mediterranean imagery of white stone walls and blue waters – this restaurant is turning the cliches on their head. Dark Shepherd is settling in at The Star Brisbane, offering an unexpected interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine that celebrates both traditional and modern interpretation.

As the name suggests, Dark Shepherd has a focus on succulent lamb. But the menu also features the freshest seafood and seasonal produce, showcasing the principle of exquisite simplicity while utilising traditional grilling methods over woodfire. Dishes are designed to be shared, so come together to savour the rich tapestry of each taste sensation.

Whether you choose to feast in the sunken dining area, celebrate a special occasion in the private dining room or experience the theatre at the bar, a sensory dining experience teeming with aromatics at every turn is assured.

With Opa Bar + Mezze and Yamas Greek + Drink – two highly-successful Greek restaurants already in his portfolio – Michael Tassis is excited to bring his heritage to this new spectacular Mediterranean-inspired venue.

Dark Shepherd is located on The Terrace, Level 4.
