The Setting

The Embassy By Devlin's

87 Rokeby Road, Subiaco, WA 6008

An opening night dinner for Australia's inaugural cigar festival deserves a room that matches the occasion. This is that room.

Housed in a 100-year-old Subiaco heritage building, The Embassy brings old-world character and atmosphere to a modern kitchen at the height of its powers. The kind of space where the walls carry history, the service carries warmth and the evening carries itself.

Private. Intimate. Unhurried. Everything a cigar dinner should be.

Head Chef Charlie Vargas leads the kitchen - a Culinary Institute of America graduate and one of Perth's most decorated chefs - producing the four-course menu that anchors the Friday evening. The cigars have been selected to match. The whisky has been chosen to follow.

When the doors open on Friday, 21 August, every element of the evening will be exactly where it should be. The only thing missing is you.
