Commune Group continues to dial up the flavour and value across its beloved venues, rolling out a fresh trio of dining specials to cater to every crowd. From long, seafood-filled lunches with High Tide at Richmond favourite New Quarter, to midweek rituals with Tokyo Tina’s Happy Hour and Moonhouse’s new Fish Night, these offers make dining out more affordable and enjoyable than ever.
After the success of Prahran’s fire-focussed Vietnamese restaurant Firebird’s ‘$25 Chicken Night’ – the ultimate mid-week pick-me-up, Commune wanted to share the love even further. Commune’s Managing Director, Rob Gringlas, shares,
“Mid-week specials are the perfect way for guests to experience our venues when they might not otherwise — they make it easy, fun and affordable for people to get out, connect, and enjoy great food during the cooler months.”
Commune Group’s specials include:
