Scholé
“The Greek word for leisure (scholé) is the origin of Latin scola, the name for the institutions of education and learning mean ‘leisure’. To the ancient mind, scholé was about pursuing creativity and losing oneself in the process.”
Scholé is a restaurant and wine bar located in Ivy Preddis’ original confectionary shop. It is a place for leisure, connection and community, with a seasonal, produce-driven à la carte menu and convivial wine list.
We cater to all occasions with a 10-seat communal table and weekly Tachinomi.
Harmony, humanity and curiosity are at the heart of all Scholé crafts.

Tachinomi
On Tuesday night, Scholé transforms into Tachinomi, a Japanese-style standing bar (‘tachi’ meaning stand, ‘nomi’ meaning drink). It offers a casual menu of snacks and drinks, emulating Tokyo’s electric Izakaya culture. The Tachinomi bar operates from 4pm every Tuesday on a walk in basis.
Menu
Our menu has a reverence for seasonal rhythms, biodynamic process and local produce. Ingredients are sourced from friends, neighbours and our most thoughtful growers.
Every act of careful cultivation is celebrated in this kitchen. Our menu is à la carte and always designed to share.
Behind the bar, our drinks list reads like an inventory of old friends. We treasure our relationships with winemakers who follow principles of organic farming and spontaneous fermentation. Our sake is similarly nurtured and sourced by Matt Young and the team at Black Market Sake. Two considered cocktails, and their spirited counterparts, complete the bar offering.
We change our menu frequently, following seasonal temperament and market produce. As a result, we are unable to cater to all dietary requests.
Acknowledgement
Scholé acknowledges that it stands on the unceded sovereign lands of the Muwinina and Palawa people of Nipaluna. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and the spirit of reciprocity that underpins Indigenous land management and community care.
