Scrap your ideas of what a food hall can do… at Arcade the dishes are ridiculously tasty. You can tell that some incredible chefs are behind this menu.
It was busy on Saturday lunch time, with a great vibe, upbeat music and ambient lighting, elevating the whole experience. Very thoughtful setup of a central kitchen and maximum use of space for seating. The decor is gorgeous art deco diner-style with comfy booth seating options if you can nab one.
You order from your table from any of the brands using the QR code which is super easy and the menu is very cleverly set out to identify specific needs like gluten free options. The cocktail menu was excellent! Table service is available and ample because they have enough helpful staff around, and everyone was so friendly.
My favourite main dish was the chicken curry followed by the prawn toast, but honestly all meals we ordered just had me speechless at how tasty they were. Altogether we enjoyed the burnt chilli mussel butter flatbread, one of the mo-mo, chicken satay, prawn flatbread, chicken curry and cheesecake. I forgot to take a picture of the chicken curry as it looked so divine that I just inhaled it immediately.
Promise me something: you might be full after the end of your mains, but GET THE CHEESECAKE. I have not been this adamant about a fact since claiming that Succession is the best TV show. Trust me.
