About Bellbird Dining and Bar

Bellbird delivers city-calibre multi-course dining tucked inside Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre. No long trek into the CBD required. Diners settle into seasonal degustation menus guided by Head Chef Federico Rekowski—think duck tortellini, grass-fed sirloin, and warm goat's cheese fritters paired with house apple margaritas or local wines. Set right against the gallery spaces, it lets you fold a contemporary art wander into lunch on the verandah or linger over silky scallops and mandarin pavlova.

  • Seasonal Degustation Menus: Head Chef Federico Rekowski curates multi-course seasonal menus—from seven-course autumn line-ups to truffle tastings—with tailored drink matches.
  • Arts Centre Setting: Housed directly in the Casula Powerhouse precinct, allowing guests to pair lunch or dinner with gallery visits and cultural exhibitions.

  • Accessible Fine Dining with Fair Pricing

    Diners experience accessible fine dining where front-of-house hospitality is council-supported, operating with an authentic no-tip policy while maintaining exceptional service.

    It's elevated dining but made accessible, which I'm so grateful for in these times, and I'm glad I could experience it.

  • Stress-Free Hospitality for Large Group Occasions

    Milestone family events benefit from thoughtful coordination, flexible room options, and warm host hospitality that puts organisers and multi-generational guests entirely at ease.

    Despite several guest cancellations and late-arrivals, the staff were so accommodating, checking in to confirm numbers, preferences and to generally put our minds at ease.

  • Destination Dining Set in a Vibrant Cultural Centre

    Housed within the Casula Powerhouse arts centre, the restaurant allows guests to combine seasonal meals with gallery exhibitions and cultural events in one visit.

    They also have an in-house exhibition for us to explore, which is super aesthetic and impressive!

  • Warm Goat's Cheese Fritters

    Each dish was an absolute banger but I particularly loved the chunky silky scallops, the warm goat's cheese fritters, the flavours and textures of the salmon tartare and the cute little creme brûlées.

Before you head over

Practical advice for booking, dining modifications, and planning your visit to Bellbird Dining and Bar.

    With limited tables and high local demand for multi-course set menus, reserve your table well in advance to avoid missing out on dining room seatings.

  • Request degustation dietary swaps early

    The kitchen readily accommodates dietary restrictions like avoiding raw fish or meat by modifying multi-course degustation dishes when notified.

  • Plan time around the arts centre and exhibitions

    Take advantage of the location inside Casula Powerhouse by pairing your reservation with the on-site exhibitions, art galleries, and riverside grounds.
