Camden locals may remember the 2020 fire that saw Whiteman’s Arcade go up in flames. Five years – and millions of dollars – later, part of the heritage site has been thankfully reborn as Argyle House Camden, a luxe restaurant with former Quay and Aria chef Jason McQueen leading the kitchen.
“We want Argyle House to not only reinvigorate the local Camden community, but also draw diners from across NSW and beyond as a landmark dining destination, capped off by our unique dining dome experience,” say owners Nichole and Morney Schlebusch.
The rooftop is where you’ll find the unique dining dome experience. Guests can opt to dine under the stars (but in the warmth) of the private majestic domes, with set menus available Wednesday to Sunday – including a Champagne and charcuterie option, and a classic steakhouse one.
McQueen’s opening menu is all about local produce, umami flavours and ingredients enhanced with char. There’s also a separate Japanese menu for those who feel like an extra savoury kick. And a whole page dedicated to steaks – spanning different cuts, price points and marble score.
“We wanted to create a venue the local community didn’t know it was missing, but soon won’t want to live without,” says McQueen.
Plus, there are private dining rooms and a separate rooftop terrace – a fab option for parties, work events and big celebrations.
Located 65km from Sydney's CBD and often referred to as the birthplace of the Australian wool industry, Camden boasts countryside charm and beautiful heritage buildings. Hopefully, Argyle House Camden will stand tall for years to come.
