Here at Urban List, we love a long lunch that rolls into the early evening. Lucikly, the team behind GPO’s refreshed precinct understands that nothing beats a knock-your-socks-off dining experience—one where you can settle in and get comfortable. Rounding out the third restaurant in GPO's elevated dining entertainment trifecta is TAMA, a stepped-up chargrilled steak and seafood restaurant in the Valley.
Executive Chef Richard Ousby and Alan Hunter are levelling up Fortitude Valley's modern dining experience with gallery-esque interiors—complete with dripping chandeliers, glowing granite and plush velvet and an extensive tried-and-tested range of luxurious caviar.
After increased demand to extend their opening hours for end of week lunch, TAMA are giving away $10,000 worth of $100 lunch vouchers to the first 100 people that sign up to celebrate hitting the 10,000 customer milestone. Visit the website to get your hands on a voucher, and treat your team to an EOY long lunch celebration, TAMA-style.
Order Stepped-Up Dishes From The Land And Sea
When you have a menu curated by a former Australian Chef of the Year, you know you're in safe hands. At TAMA, Exec Chef Richard Ousby showcases dishes from the land and sea—with standouts including a 1.8kg Angus tomahawk, wagyu scotch fillet, extra large Moreton Bay bugs and either a half or full kilogram lobster. Looking for something a little less grand? Choose from an equally-delicious offering of handmade pasta, a wagyu burger made with double cheese and triple sauce served on a potato bun, creamy Sydney Rock oysters, or octopus served with chorizo, harissa and whipped garlic.
As for the wine list, co-owner Alan Hunter knows a thing or two about sophistication and carefully curated pairings—after all, he’s scored a string of awards including the Pol Roger Sommelier of the Year. Expect a broad range of considered local wines and exclusive international drops to compliment your meal, like rare French wines and Champagnes from large and independent growers.
Book A Long Lunch In The Opulent Private Dining Rooms
Luxe private dining rooms that serve impeccable food can often be tricky to come by, but TAMA’s private dining rooms and bar suites are a sure-fire contender for your next corporate affair, long lunch or milestone moment. Book intimate rooms for groups of six, larger spaces for bigger groups, or host your next cocktail engagement with capacity for up to 220 people. Caviar bumps and bellinis with your colleagues to cap off a successful week? It’s a big yes from us.
