A whole restaurant for you and your guests, lit with candles and curtained off from the street, your own music playing and your own decorative touches such as flowers and balloons. Bring your own drinks, eat to your heart's content, change seats and mingle with your friends, and be looked after all evening by professional staff. Sounds like fun?; this could be your next function at Cafe Mint.

When?

Numbers?

Ideally between 25 to 30, more than that is uncomfortable.

The cost?

$50 per head, however a minimum spend of $1250 is required regardless of numbers. There are no extra charges for corkage or service (though feel free to reward good service if you wish). Variations to the menu may increase the cost. A deposit of $500 dollars is required to confirm a booking, the remainder being payable on the night. ( cash only as we don't have credit card facilities).

What do you get for this?

All of the ambience mentioned above, and lots of delicious food.On arrival we will pour drinks for you and your guests and tempt your tastebuds with little nibbles such as goats cheese pastries with roast cherry tomatoes or lamb kefta with tzatziki.

Once everyone is gathered we will ask you to be seated and serve our famous meze plates, dips, vegetables, pickles and lots of warm turkish bread.
