Among the standout offerings at Calida are the Empanadas, Steak Tartare, and a curated selection of S. Kidman QLD Grain Fed beef, Australia’s most respected and successful beef producer since 1899.
These dishes are a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to quality and authenticity. Chef Starr’s passion for cooking with beef fat is evident in the rich, deep flavours that permeate the menu, particularly in the expertly prepared steaks. The custom Parilla grill and Calida’s house-made Chimichurri promises a memorable culinary experience.
