Equinox Restaurant & Bar occupies part of the Forbury Park Raceway complex on Victoria Road, combining a neighbourhood dining room with the practical space of a larger venue. It serves brunch and dinner from Wednesday through Sunday and supports bookings, parking and family visits. The current food offering is substantial enough to make Equinox a restaurant first, even though drinks, functions and event catering are also important parts of the operation.
Brunch ranges from sweet breakfasts to full midday plates. French toast comes with a choice of sauces, pancakes pair either banana and bacon or berries and cream, and eggs Benedict can be ordered with bacon, smoked salmon or spinach and mushroom. Seafood chowder, fish and chips, roast of the day and chicken filo add heft, while salads, pasta and a steak sandwich cover diners who want something between breakfast and dinner.
Dinner begins with familiar sharing dishes such as garlic prawns, salt-and-pepper calamari, mozzarella sticks and buffalo wings with blue-cheese sauce. The main courses then move through stuffed chicken with spinach, cream cheese and pistachio, grilled catch of the day, rump or ribeye steak, pork belly with kumara wedges, seafood chowder and herb-crusted lamb chops. That breadth lets a table mix casual plates with a more conventional restaurant main.
Equinox also gives pizza and burgers their own space. The pizza list ranges from tandoori chicken with paneer and mint yoghurt to Sichuan chicken with peanuts, alongside meat-heavy and vegetable combinations. Beef, Korean fried chicken, corn-patty and vegan potato-rosemary burgers offer distinct choices rather than one token alternative. Children have a separate menu, and cocktails, mocktails and in-house event catering make the venue adaptable for family meals and organised gatherings.
