Located in Wollongong on the NSW South Coast, Caveau is an award winning fine dining restaurant and has been awarded a hat by the SMH Good Food Guide every year since 2005. Caveau uses organic and locally sourced produce, and sources fresh, whole and sustainable seafood from Sydney's premier seafood supplier. Caveau also embraces Nose to Tail cooking, doing much of its butchery in-house and ensuring that all parts of the animal are respected. Caveau caters for vegans and vegetarians and can accommodate all allergies and dietary requirements with advance notice.

You and your guests can have exclusive use of Caveau for a sit down dinner at Caveau (20-50 persons) or a canape party (35-75 persons). Canape functions allow people to mingle and work with a less fixed time frame (so not everyone has to stay from beginning to end). We also have food and beverage packages - perfect if you need to know in advance a fixed per person cost. Canapes can include sweet and savoury, hot and cold, vegetarian, meat and seafood - with over 30 to choose from. Caveau also has smaller private dining rooms. Caveau's two upstairs private dining rooms are perfect for groups of 8-12 and allow you the freedom to talk privately or to have a rowdy good time! Caveau can assist with balloon decorations and we also provide personalised menus and birthday plates free of charge.
