We love eating at Bellbird. Today the food was delicious and the service excellent. The staff really help make the experience enjoyable, including turning down the music a little. One of the reasons we like fining here is that we can comfortably chat with each other without having to worry about other noise. Look forward to being able to sit on the verandah again and also better light quality once the entrance is reopened.

Chester White Cured Diner

Potts Point

About the restaurant

Welcome to your home away from home. The locals' lounge room.
Where new and old friends from around the globe gather for organic charcuterie, house-made pasta + European and Australian wine.

Owner Stu and his team enjoy meats of Europe, the pastas of Italy, and wines from off the beaten track. The restaurant comes together over a love of pork and swill (and country music).

The kitchen team spends afternoons pickling, rolling gnocchi, making focaccia and keeping an eye on our beloved cured meats and pecorino cheese wheels. By nightfall the show is on, the house is full and the atmosphere is swinging.

So come on in and let us guide you through our menu. Welcome to our Diner!!
