    Gorgeous location and excellent service. We’ve just been to Paris and the Crêpes Suzette at Gavroche was much better than what we had there. Lovely cocktails. Highly recommend.

    All the staff in were so friendly and engaging. Love the decor and lighting that comes through the restaurant, tables are spaced out appropriately as well. The food... honestly, everything that we ordered and came out was perfectly balanced and not bland or too salty. I had the for entree the Panelle Salmon Cavier (eaten in 2 bites... give me more!) and the buratta (very refreshing). For main, ordered their signature squid ink crab tonnarelli (delicious!). The sauce was creamy with the right amount of salt without losing the taste of the crab and sea. perfectly cooked, al dente xx - definitely a place I would like to revisit/eat at again... soon.

    Solo diner from Hobart .stumbled on this place in May and as soon as I decided when I was coming back to Sydney for a visit, this was the first place I booked! Catered to half serves also! -Focaccia w truffle butter/EVOO -Yellow fin tuna & peach -And probably the most insane carbonara ever Tried so hard to finish my tiramisu but was defeated. Wines were well priced and delish! Had very attentive waiter in hat providing nice chats and wonderful waitress who gave me great brunch recommendations! Book the bar! It’s a vibe! See you soon!
