Tasmania’s Agrarian Kitchen, Peter Gilmore and More Are Coming to the Tennis

The Australian Open has become as much about the food and drink offerings as it is about the tennis. Last year, the Grand Slam introduced AO Reserve, premium ticket packages that include food and drink from some of the country's top talent.

This year’s line-up included offerings from Martin Benn and Vicki Wild (the couple formerly behind Sepia), Melbourne restaurateur Grant Smillie’s Los Angeles spot Grandmaster Recorders, and Alejandro Saravia of Morena and Farmer’s Daughters.

Saravia is back for the 2026 tournament – which runs Monday January 12 to Sunday February 1 – curating a menu available in a private box package, starting at $914 per person. Another private box package includes drinks by the Caretaker’s Cottage team.

There’ll also be pop-up restaurants and bars, which are bookable as part of ticket packages. Rodney Dunn and Severine Demanet will bring their renowned Tasmanian restaurant The Agrarian Kitchen to the AO Glasshouse for five days, with tickets available from $1260 per person; Peter Gilmore of Sydney's Quay and Bennelong will be on-site cooking during the semifinals and finals with tickets starting at $2200 per person; and British chef Simon Rogan of three-Michelin-starred restaurant L’Enclume will take over the tournament’s Club 1905 for the entire Open.

There’ll also be pop-ups from Brisbane restaurant SK Steak & Oyster and from chef Shimpei Raikuni of Sushi Room.
