Automata is Head Chef Clayton Wells’ two star flagship restaurant situated on the ground floor of The Old Clare Hotel. Bringing a movable approach to a frequently changing five and seven course menu, components stem from Clayton’s varied background at some of Australia and Europe’s dining institutions. Menus are formulated with freedom and energy that translates into the dining room, with beverages and pairings beyond wine. The warehouse style space along Kensington Street includes a mezzanine and communal tables.
