Philosophy

As a high quality restaurant, Charcoal Lane provides the best work experience, hospitality training and supportive environment to enable Aboriginal and disadvantaged young people to transition to mainstream employment.

Charcoal Lane’s apprentices and trainees will be able to move into career in hospitality and other industries as a result of their invaluable experience at Charcoal Lane and their work with our valued corporate partners.

Through contemporary Aboriginal art, Aboriginal stories entwined within the restaurant and aboriginal flavours fused into modern cuisine, customers are invited to experience and engage with contemporary Aboriginal cultures. Charcoal Lane apprentices and trainees interact with customers and add to this engaging dining experience.

We see this as “reconciliation through dining”.
