Pope Joan

28/11/2023

An update;

We’re delighted Pope Joan will open this weekend at T1 Terminal in partnership with a highly experienced airport operator.

Our first coffee and conversation about this opportunity was November 2019. We’ll open in November 2023. It’s been a long journey but we’re delighted to get to this point.

See you soon at the airport for a Reuben, a Cornish, a great coffee, a negroni or a perfect glass of wine before your next flight out of Melbourne.

Leadership is crucial in so many walks of life; not just in business but in family, leisure, political and community life too.

Pope Joan is a business and a family, and Leah & Bente are the leaders who inspire their teams out front and in the kitchen.

It’s what leadership looks like everyday.

Daytime dining in the city! So good; fresh seasonal produce, skill and care in the kitchen, vibes out front.

From 7am weekdays until the late afternoon.

If you need an excuse to come into the office, or a reason to make a day of it in the city, here’s one good reason - chef Bente’s food at Pope.

When you think about tennis, do your thoughts go to jugs of Pimm’s Peach Ice tea?

Same here.

See you on the Terrace.
