Located in the heart of The Mezz in Mount Hawthorn is Pogo, the creamy pink restaurant of your instagram dreams that will take you on a sensory journey you won’t soon forget.

The scrumptous menu is a fresh take modern Australian cuisine, with an added twist of The Middle East and a dash of The Mediterranean. Best shared with good company, the fresh ingredients of each dish and exciting flavours will have your taste buds travelling the world – even if we can’t.

All plates are for sharing, which include the Zaatar Fried Chicken with Aleppo mayo, pickled cucumber and curry leaf, or whipped Hummus & Pita, or the Crispy Exmouth Squid with Turkish Pepper, muhummra and Ink. Of course, if you want a whole dish to yourself, we won’t say anything.

If you thought it couldn’t get any better, think again because Wednesday’s are known as BYO Local’s Night where, you guessed it, BYO wine with no corkage fee! On all other nights Pair your meal with a beautiful cocktail, or your favourite staple drink of wine, beer or cider. Otherwise,

If tasty cocktails and courtyards are more your thing, the lush Garden Bar out the back is open from Friday – Sunday with weekday specials to suit everyone. Friday in the Garden kicks off with Happy Hour from 4 – 5pm, and on Sunday they play host to live music with their aptly named Hip Hop & Hummus Sunday Sessions, which creates the perfect backdrop to the end of the week.

Poptails (popsicle cocktails, yum!) are a staple on the menu and assist in keeping the perpetual summer vibes rolling. The cocktail flavours themselves are rotating, with different drinks to try all the time. Make sure you don’t miss out on a single drop.

Saturday Sips in the Garden sounds like the ultimate fantasy we never knew we needed. Each Saturday from 4pm, try a wine tasting board with a rotating roster of five wines and complimentary snacks from the kitchen.

Pogo is also available for function hire, where you can hire the entire Garden Bar for exclusive use for up to 60 guests. There are also options for hiring the inside restaurant as well. The team are hospitality experts and are looking forward to looking to catering for your next event.
