In November 2024, Teneriffe celebrated the arrival of a brand-new cocktail bar and kitchen – one boasting an Asia-spanning menu of eats as well as an eye-catching Wes Anderson-inspired aesthetic. Henley’s is a colour-filled venue – part bar, part casual bistro and part neighbourhood takeaway joint – that has been fashioned almost like a set from a Wes Anderson film. Inspired by the travels of its fictional inspiration Arthur Henley, Henley’s charts the intrepid gastronome’s travels across post-colonial Asia via a menu filled with unique street-food items from Korea, Japan, China, the Philippines and Thailand. We’re talking local specialties and trending dishes that are hard to find in Australia, including the likes of Filipino pork tocino and Coca-Cola fried rice, as well as a clutch of classic dishes like Korean bulgogi and bibimbap. Framed more as a cocktail bar with its own kitchen, Henley’s is also delivering on the drinks front. Henley’s cocktails (named after characters from Wes Anderson films) are infused with a broad range of Asian ingredients, with the likes of the Royal (sesame-washed Johnnie Walker Black with acid-adjusted honey, Chinese five-spice bitters and applewood smoke) and the Rhett (Tarsier calamansi gin, Kikuyasaka yuzu liqueur, jackfruit and passionfruit) leading a beverage program that also includes share-style cocktails, a killer range of wines and draught and packaged beers.
