After three long years of planning, St Katherine’s the latest restaurant for The Press Club Group opened it's doors on the 13th of May.

The restaurant, which is a collaboration between long time friends George Calombaris and Shane Delia is a completely new concept for the Kew area.

The kitchen is equipped with an enormous wood fired oven, a fourteen spike rotisserie and a Turkish Grill which runs the length of the pass.

Guests will be treated to dishes that are a melding of Modern Greek, Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisines, and are representative of the flavours and ingredients that Shane and George love.

An extensive take away menu and weekday lunch specials are also available.
