A Series: Lunch with Friends & Winemakers
With fifteen years of memories on Flinders Lane, we’re fortunate to have met many artists and creative peers who make up our wonderful community. This year, we’re welcoming some of them to host a series of weekend lunches in our upstairs dining room.
Lunch with Katie Marx: A Floral Workshop
Join us for lunch upstairs, where Katie will talk through her creative process and guide all guests on creating their own floral arrangement using locally sourced and foraged flowers.
Celebrating Mother’s Day
On Sunday, May 12th, join us for a generous Mother’s Day menu all day at Cumulus Inc.
Aligot with Pierrick Gorrichon and Anthony Femia
Join Gimlet Sommelier, Pierrick Gorrichon, and Maker & Monger’s cheesemonger, Anthony Femia, for a lunch that's a true celebration of wild mountain wine and cheese.
At Nonna’s Table with Paola Bacchia
Join us for lunch upstairs, where Paola Bacchia will be celebrating the launch of her new cookbook, At Nonna’s Table. She'll discuss her inspiration, her cooking style, and at the centre of it all, her love for Italy and family.
2023 Winemakers’ Lunches
Each year, we host a series of Winemaker's Lunches, poised to celebrate the vineyards, farmers and local suppliers that make our building thrive. We explore some of the country's most acclaimed wine regions - providing an opportunity to hear from the winemakers directly on the conditions and influences of each vintage.
Recipe — Lemon Curd Madeleines
The scent of freshly baked madeleines is what we want to wake up to any morning. Make these on Christmas morning to have with an espresso or a cup of tea.
$2 Oysters in the Afternoon
We have a selection of Sydney Rock and Pacific oysters for $2 from 3pm to 6pm each weekday. Accompanying them is a list of oyster-friendly drinks including grower Champagne, Manzanilla, Premier Cru Chablis and Greek Nykteri.
DineSmart 2023
In December, we participated in DineSmart. For over 20 years, DineSmart’s fundraising initiatives have helped grassroots groups facilitate training and employment opportunities for disadvantaged and vulnerable people.
Twelve Wines of Christmas
Our 12 Wines of Christmas is a collection of wines that our whole team gets really excited about. The selection allows us to share our true loves within the world of wine with our guests here at Cumulus Inc.
A Dinner with Danielle Alvarez
To celebrate the launch of her new cookbook, Recipes for a Lifetime of Beautiful Cooking, Danielle is joining Cumulus Inc. upstairs to cook a seasonal shared four-course menu filled with dishes from the book.
The Wine List
To mark 15 years, our head sommelier Chris Webb has pulled together a list of wines that expresses something special about Cumulus Inc., highlighting the connections we have made while nodding to each sommelier in this time.
The Dining Room
The Cumulus Inc. dining room was designed to blur the line of cafe, bar and restaurant. A space to be interpreted and used as one wishes. We wanted the space to be comfortable and welcoming, and without the pressure of a full traditional, dining experience.
Our Producers
“Nothing gets made without produce, but nothing great gets made without great produce,” says Oliver, emphatically. Oliver talks about radicchio and its varieties like loved ones, and as farm leaves, full and bright, wait for dressings and plates at the pass, haphazardly presented like Flemish still lifes, we can see why.
Fifteen Years on Flinders Lane
Fifteen years have given us enough time to think about the things that have made a difference. Black Thonet chairs with timber socks, the marble bar and open kitchen is without a doubt a Cumulus Inc. signature and there are a few dishes that have become firm favourites.
