On the menu, indulgence starts with a silky parmesan custard, topped with preserved pimiento and served with two pieces of house-made focaccia. For seafood lovers, the spicy tuna on toast is a standout, featuring sesame mayo, white anchovy, and a pop of tobiko. Meatier options include pork and duck albondigas paired with vibrant purple atchara, as well as barbecue chicken skewers glazed with rich, smoky satti sauce.

Alongside the delectable food on offer, you’ll also find a tasty $8 drink special that’s as beautiful to imbibe as it is to behold (a recurring theme at Bar Magda). The Blueberry Spritz offers a refreshing mix of blueberry vermouth, bubbles, and compote — a vibrant, fruity complement to the delicious bites.

Running indefinitely every Thursday from 5 — 7pm (or until sold out), this is your chance to experience Bar Magda’s signature flavours and cosy eatery at an unbeatable price.
