The Charles Christmas Dessert Trolley

This festive season, The Charles invites you to indulge in the art of dessert. Our Christmas Dessert Trolley is a celebration of craftsmanship and nostalgia — a refined procession of exquisite cakes and petits fours, presented tableside with a touch of theatre.

Experience these seasonal creations as part of our Christmas Afternoon Tea, or savour them à la carte in-venue throughout December. Select favourites are also available to pre-order online, perfect for bringing a taste of The Charles home.

The Charles Awarded Three Goblets at 2025 Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards

Three goblets. Three years running.

The highest recognition at the Wine List of the Year Awards – maintained again for a list that puts Champagne and Burgundy in the starring roles. Elegance to the max, with 800 wines to choose from.

Head Sommelier Maxime Bellon has built something distinct here. The goblet system doesn’t just measure size – it rewards curation, depth, and a point of view. It’s recognition for the work behind every bottle: the relationships with producers, the hours spent tasting, the commitment to quality over trends.

This is what we do at The Charles. Year after year.

Ready to explore 800 wines? Reserve your table here.

Cello Series At The Charles Bar

Introducing our house made Cello Series in The Charles Bar, with monthly rotating flavours, our Bar Manager Colin Tam isn’t just sticking to the well-known limoncello – think Honeydew, Mango & more!

Hailing from Southern Italy originally, this vibrant liqueur, is hand crafted from the freshest seasonal fruits.

Under the expert guidance of our Bar Manager, Colin Tam, our team meticulously follows traditional Italian methods, infusing each batch with zest and freshness.

With flavours rotating monthly, from the sweet and ripe mango-cello to the invigorating citrus-cello, there’s surely a flavour you haven’t tried.

Enjoy our Cello’s in multiple ways: as a sophisticated digestif following a meal in the Brasserie, mixed into a fizzy spritz for a leisurely afternoon with friends, or just neat in a perfectly chilled glass.

Walk-ins are always welcome or book a seat at the bar by clicking the link below.
