About
Inspired by Lennox Hastie’s time in the foothills of the Basque country, Gildas is a homage to the original pintxo created in San Sebastian of three simple ingredients; a guindilla pepper, an olive, and an anchovy – a creation which coincided with the screening of the eponymous film starring the stunning Rita Hayworth, Gilda, at the San Sebastian Film Festival in 1946.

Using the freshest, seasonal ingredients available, Gildas is an exploration of incredible produce from the Basque region and Australia. The menu is designed as a journey – depending on what your night or afternoon lunch calls for, it is perfect for a quick bite, a few snacks, or as a shared meal.

The Basque tradition of the pintxos taverna is a space where locals come together as a community. The beverage menu at Gildas should be enjoyed in the true Iberian spirit – surrounded by people, with shared, simple, delicious food.
