Yardbird, Albury’s newest restaurant and bar features a bold flavoured menu, inspired by the European tradition of cooking over fire. You’ll find Black Angus rump cap with roast bone marrow, persillade and celeriac remoulade alongside royal Aylesbury-cross duck breast, creamed savoy cabbage, quince and brandy sauce. The bar snack menu has a Spanish/Euro feel with charcuterie and Padrón peppers.
To drink there is a beautiful collection of wines from near and far. The list features over 100 wines plus craft beers on tap and traditional cocktails highlighting local distilleries.
The interior is inspired by the surrounding regions with materials that are raw and unfinished from concrete + blackbutt, to steel and raw terracotta. Blackwood tables and hand poured concrete are bespoke finishes from local artisans. Colours of oxblood, olive and mustard are layered with wicker and plaid, celebrating the natural palette of the Australian landscape and regional homesteads.
Before dinner, the best spot at Yardbird is the courtyard garden – perfect for relaxing, drinking and watching life on Townsend St pass by.
Bookings are essential.
