Letting Fire Do The Work
Created by chef and owner Nicki Morrison in 2022, Flint was built around a simple idea: cooking over fire.
Nicki’s culinary career has taken her through kitchens in Europe, Japan, and North America, but it was a small restaurant in Western Australia that ignited everything. There, smoke claimed her imagination. What began as curiosity became obsession, with years spent researching live-fire and smoking techniques across the Deep South and Europe.
From a single smoker to an open hearth, the practice evolved but the pull of fire remained constant. The beauty and hypnotism of the fire demands attention, patience, and refined technique, with no room for shortcuts.
Flint is proudly owner-led, with Nicki at the centre of the kitchen, cooking instinctively and without rigid rules. The menu evolves constantly, shaped by season, process, and the realities of cooking over flame.
Serious in craft but never pretentious, Flint is open, daring, and driven by challenge.
Here, fire is more than a method- it is the heart of the restaurant.
Experiences
Throughout the week, Flint offers two exciting experiences :
Steak Night and Seafood Night!
Steak Night
Join us every Wednesday evening for our ever-popular steak night. For $55 per person, we offer Flint's famous Fire bread, select premium steak, and Carrot Carrot to share.
Each person must participate but don't worry, solo diners are always welcome.
Last but not least, our a la carte menu is available in addition to Steak Night so you can enjoy as many dishes as your heart desires.
Seafood Night
A new addition at Flint, every Thursday evening we feature a rotating seafood-focused a la carte menu. Dishes may include exciting variations of oysters, raw fish, and whole fish. The menu will change every week, so definitely come by to try all the new dishes! Order everything straight from the seafood menu or pair with our weekly classics - the choice is yours!
