OTIS Dining Hall
OTIS Dining Hall is destination fine dining meets elevated casual local eatery.
A place to gather, to share, to celebrate, to remember, to return.
OTIS is your place.
OTIS Dining Hall has been serving up elevated fine-casual fare since acclaimed local chef Damian Brabender opened its doors in Kingston, Canberra in 2016. Now run by the team behind Home All Day, its dedication to local produce, ever-changing seasonal menus and the attentive touches of silver service within a warm and welcoming ‘lounge room space’ remains.
Housed in the site of a former Belgian beer hall, OTIS nods to its convivial history while transforming itself into a modern dining hall built on the love of fine food and wine. Deep timber-panelling, cosy lighting, lend touches of old world character amidst the expansively airy interior of mirrors, glass and high ceilings, glancing out onto leafy Jardine Street. OTIS is a fine dining experience with warmth and soul. OTIS is your five-star local making its mark on the Canberra dining landscape.
We know a meal can make – or break – your day. Here at OTIS, we elevate the everyday.
