What is the Chef's Teasing Platter?

If you are looking at the Chef’s Teasing Platter as part of “Show & Dinner” style ticket, here are some things to note:

The Teasing Platter is designed individually, ensuring dietary requirements and allergy notes are met with the greatest of care

The Teasing Platter consists of 4-5 items from our menu picked by the Chef on the day of your event. Any platters that are ordered on the day, or have dietary changes made on the day may see a difference to other guests at the event.

The 4-5 items picked are a smaller portion size to their menu counterparts. It is designed this way in order for you to have a little taste (or tease) of the items. For a person with a smaller appetite, the platter may suffice as a “meal”, and for those looking to try a few more things, this gives you the opportunity to order more of your favourite teases, or try some other items from the menu.

All of our items are prepared fresh daily. This means that while we endevour to provide all guests with a similar teasing platter, items may run out due to popular demand or dietary needs, meaning some platters may have substitute items.

For more information, you can always contact us on the day of your event to find out which items are likely to be included. The best contact at all times is info@barpigalle.com.au or to call us after 2pm on 03 8582 6692.

How long is the show?

Our Friday & Saturday Night Grind shows currently start at 8PM and run for approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours; It is split into 2 acts with a 20 minute interval in the middle. The time varies depending on the length of the individual acts and the amount of interludes the host provides. For any special events of guest productions, please check the details for that specific event on our 'What's On' page. If any information is unclear or unavailable, please email us at info@barpigalle.com.au

Who is performing?

We work with a rotating cast of our resident performers and special guests - no two shows are ever exactly the same! Usually our cast for the upcoming weekend shows is announced on our social media (Facebook & Instagram) on Monday. Cast is subject to change due to performer availability.

Is the venue accessible for wheelchair users?

Unfortunately we are not fully accessible. The main bar/restaurant is at ground level and easily accessible, however due to the age of the building our bathrooms are located upstairs. We are across the road from a hospital which has accessible bathrooms that can be used in a pinch.

Can I book for a group?

Absolutely, we'd love to host your group! For groups of up to 8 guests you can book as usual via our website. For larger groups please contact us to set up your booking so that we can arrange table layouts accordingly - visit our GROUPS page for more information

At Bar Pigalle we pride ourselves on our ability cater to all dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, Halal and so on) as well as the major allergens (Coeliac, gluten intolerance, nut anaphylaxis/intolerance, dairy allergy/intolerance and so on). With enough notice (more than 24hrs), we can also cater to more extreme and complex allergies, to ensure every guest has a selection of dishes to try.
