We are all about conversation, funky beats, tasty eats and even better wine. Finally, a place to enjoy a good time, any night of the week. There is one thing we might keep from you though and that’s how to get in, you’ll have to book to find out.

Our return to Labart after a number of years was delightful - we had a lovely meal with good food and wine. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. On our visit, protein offering was Wagyu heavy (3 types) and some of the seafood was not from Old, merely an observation rather than criticism. The wine offering has altered too - a good smattering by the glass with plenty of international bottles on the list. Not as much fun though if you wanted to mix and match your way through the meal, and that is probably more a sign of the times.

It’s always a stellar meal and excellent dining experience at Izakaya Midori. The food and presentation and the fact that it’s all plant based are the reasons we keep going back. Well done again to the chefs and staff. KUTGW.

This was the first time having a dinner at this place and absolutely amazing! We were having sashimi, wagyu tataki, champon noodle and aburi salmon roll, everything great! There were some customers and hall staffs spoke fluent Japanese. We asked their recommendation and kindly suggested some dishes:) Totally, we had a great experience at the restaurant ! Thank you so much.

About the restaurant

Good food, gracious hospitality, and a pioneering spirit. These are all aspects that we have taken from our cultural background to bring you one of the most unique experiences that you will encounter. We hope you enjoy your journey with us at Rabbath. Our family escaped war torn Lebanon during the civil war of 1975 and settled in Australia. Like many before us seeking a peaceful life, Australia welcomed us with open arms, and right from the moment we arrived we called this beautiful, sacred land our home. Our passion in cuisine became part of our everyday life while growing up in Australia. The Syrian and Lebanese backgrounds in our parents’ heritage meant we were influenced by world-class cuisine and culture.
