What we’re about
Table Talks: The Salon is designed for driven and curious individuals who enjoy elevated and exclusive experiences while exploring intricate topics around philosophy and business. We collaborate with leading hospitality partners to curate off-menu and highly personalised experiences that merge culinary exploration with meaningful connection, bringing together like-minded individuals and celebrating the craft of creators. How it works: → Curated menus created exclusively for the club → Private dining experiences → Stimulating conversations around philosophy, economy, finance, and commerce If you’re someone who not only wants to experience life but also finds joy in asking “why” questions, this is for you.

Here to make life more fun and exciting.
I created Table Talks because I felt something was missing in Melbourne. This city has no shortage of restaurants, wine bars, and cultural experiences, but it can also feel closed-off and cliquey. As adults, making new friends or finding a place to genuinely belong isn’t easy. I had plenty of connections, yet I still felt there was a gap, the difference between knowing people and really being part of something. I kept hearing the same thing from others too. At the same time, loneliness is rising, especially among younger generations who are craving something real. Table Talks grew out of that frustration and that need. For me, dining has never just been about food and wine. The table is where conversations happen, ideas spark, and communities take shape. What I’m building with Table Talks is a way of gathering that feels intentional: a mix of design, culture, and storytelling that leaves people feeling seen and connected. The table is just the starting point.
