Evenings at Colours & Tastes
Our Colours & Tastes restaurant offers up to three deliciously different cuisines.

Embrace the spirit of Italy, where timeless recipes and beautifully balanced flavours take centre stage, bringing together comforting pastas, bright seasonal notes and thoughtfully prepared sauces; or experience the full flavour of the grill, where every steak is hand-cut by our in-house butcher, selected by the chef, seasoned with precision and perfectly seared to lock in the flavours. From juicy, succulent steaks and tender, meaty prawns, to delicious plant-based steaks. Each plate delivers the deep, satisfying tastes of an exceptional grill experience.
