One of my all time favourite! Food, drink and services are among the best in Sydney! Reasonably priced as well. I especially enjoy their French wine selection. Nothing too fancy but absolutely delicious. I’ve tried everything on their menu and I haven’t been disappointed. Amazing little gem in the city. Love it!

Excellent. You will not be disappointed. The best French food we have had in years. They met all points on taste, presentation and service. We started with goat cheese salad and Escargot. For Entree we had Veal Casserole and Beef Bourguigon. You won’t be disappointed

We had the pleasure of dining at Bistro Papillon last night, and I must say, it was a truly unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and cozy atmosphere transported us to the streets of Paris. The decor was charming, with soft lighting, rustic wooden accents, and vintage French posters. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who knew their menu inside out. But the real pièce de résistance was the food – oh, the food! Each dish was a masterclass in French cuisine, with bold flavors, exquisite presentation, and generous portions. What truly sets Bistro Papillon apart is the attention to detail and the love that clearly goes into every aspect of the dining experience. From the freshly baked bread to the carefully curated wine list, every element is a testament to the chef's passion for French cuisine. In short, Bistro Papillon is a must-visit for anyone who loves French food, or just great food in general. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Best authentic french cuisine in Sydney! This city institution is second to none. The food, drinks and service is incredible. Have the escargots and then cleanse your palate with ther vodka sorbet, easily one of the best experiences in town! Xx

Overall: 4/7 Docking a point for the cost, but overall this place did not taste special or otherwise noteworthy in any positive way. Generally found the savoury dishes quite bland and lacklustre. Desserts were better, but the apple tarte tatin had a terrible crust… Escargot: 3/7 So expensive for something so underwhelming… it came without the shells, under seasoned and generally bland. Would not order. Beef tartare: 4/7 Again under seasoned, but the beef and other ingredients seemed high quality. Horseradish was a nice accompaniment. Country terrine: 4/7 Better seasoned, fairly tasty - but not much particular to say. Bread is really hard… The relish was good. Onion soup: 4/7 Unremarkable as well. There’s always a certain taste in these soups that I personally don’t enjoy, not sure what spice is the cause… Probably decent if you like French onion soup. Duck confit: 5/7 Pretty solid. The veggie mix was good, and the duck was well cooked with tender meat and a crispy skin. But it was one of those instances where the meat was getting a bit dry, while still being tender. Sauce was good, albeit a bit thin. Colonel: 5/7 Palette cleaser - just a shot of vodka and some sorbet, was good. Creme brûlée: 5/7 Very very rich. Tastes good. Tarte tatin: 3/7 The apples are pretty good with the ice cream. But the problem is that the pastry was terrible. It was so soft and actually difficult to cut through.

I am a huge fan of the Mon - Wed weekly deals this place has!! Such a great deal, and the food is excellent. I have come here multiple times and have never had a bad experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very fun and relaxed, ideal for after work drinks and snacks. Definitely recommend!

Great spot! The beer Munich was fantastic, but Marcela's attention truly made the experience. She was super fun, friendly, and made sure everyone felt welcomed. Highly recommend!

Great service. Had a snitz and beer for an easy lunch on a Sunday. Staff were great, greeting you nicely and very tentative. Not many guests at the time but they were. The good was good too for the price, $28 for a snitz with mushroom sauce and beer was standard price but good. Good experience. Thank you!

Great food; excellent service though the environment might have been too noisy for me.

Not all Bavarian restaurants make good food. This one makes it properly and very well! Safe to book and walk right in if there’s a table I thought all Bavarian restaurants make same quality food. But the York st restaurant proved to me that this is not the case. Meat wasn’t dry and it was cooked to perfection. It’s surprising how much difference a chef can make. Everything on the plate was delicious. The vibe was unique as always and service was fast and welcoming. For these reasons, I give this place 3 bears

Exceptional Service and Memorable Dining Experience! Our evening at Toko Dining was made unforgettable thanks to Sonia. She is amazing and truly elevated our experience! The food, the cocktails, and the atmosphere were all fantastic, but Sonia’s cheerful and attentive service was the highlight. I just got my visa approved, and Sonia organized a special dessert to celebrate. We will definitely be back and plan to bring more friends with us. Thank you, Sonia, for making our night so special!

We opted for the Tasting menu, and the food is incredible! It's fresh, and the flavors are a modern twist on traditional quality. The ambiance is wonderful, and the service is top-notch. We had the good fortune to be seated in front of the kitchen, observing the seamless coordination and skillful preparation of food, which is a spectacle in itself. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking quality contemporary Japanese cuisine.

My first dining experience at Toko was excellent. Had a business lunch for about 8 people and went with the set menu. The food was beautifully presented and so appealing to the senses that forgot to take photos of much of it before eating it! Service was impeccable and the ambience was modern and relaxing.

I didn’t realise that this was the same restaurant that used to be in Surry Hills. I’ve been to that one many years ago, but usually just for cocktails as they’re good. This time around, I had dinner with a friend. We didn’t drink alcohol as it wasn’t that kind of night, so our bill was quite decent. We only got four dishes too, as we weren’t sure with the portion sizes. Thankfully all the dishes we got were really good. The soft shell crab maki was good. The chicken karaage was crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside. The pork belly had a nice tangy sauce. And the miso eggplant was great and very filling. For desert, I had pre-ordered the birthday upgrade when I booked online. It was a lava cake with an ice cream that had a mild flavour. I guess to contrast the rich chocolate cake. All in all, I’m keen to go back here. With more people so we can try more dishes and maybe even get a drink.

Friendly barman, who knows how to make amazing cocktails and entertain the guest. The burgers are good. I just wish I had found this place a week before moving out of Sydney.

We stopped in for a drink during happy hour and managed to snag the window table. The gentleman serving us was really friendly and helpful. We tried a grapefruit margarita and a lychee martini. Both drinks were well made, sweet without being overly so. A lovely place to stop for a drink. They have an outdoor patio too!
Tara Ryan - 10 months ago

Cosy bar, great cocktails, friendly staff. Came for the happy hour drinks and tried every one, all of them good size and delicious. Bartender was very welcoming and personable. Could do with a better outdoor seating area like next door as standing around barrels isn’t ideal. Would happily come again and relax on the balcony with a cocktail.

If you are a fan of whisky, stay clear of this place. While the selection may look great on the photos, reality is much worse… You will be paying very premium price for whiskies that already aired out so much in the bottles that they barely have the taste they should… The atmosphere is great, but that’s about it. Also the servers were extremely slow even though the place was half empty. Would not recommend

Delicious drinks, impressed to see cauliflower popcorn was packed with cauliflower florets and no filler, impressed to see Taiwanese-style fried chicken on the menu and that the chicken had been marinated! 👍👍👍 Only critique were fries were a bit empty inside. Deserved more customers at 5pm on a Saturday!

I celebrated my wife's birthday in this place. The place is very nice and can rotate 360 ​​degrees. The food is very delicious and the service is very good. For Muslims, we can choose halal food. We can see the city of Sydney very clearly.

Whilst all the staff were lovely, I was very disappointed by the following: - My main issue is that I had marked ‘Anniversary’ in my reservation, and then was asked twice after arriving what the occasion was. This would have been fine however, when the dessert came out, the staff wished us a happy birthday and wasn’t sure who the birthday person was. I feel like there was a massive breakdown in communication and the question of the occasion wasn’t passed on and therefore why clarify with me if you aren’t going to make note of it. - We were served by different people each time throughout the night and I had to ask to be told about each dish that was served. The view however is spectacular. The beef main and mango dessert are really the standout, so save enough room for it. The other dishes are decent.

I visited this restaurant for my birthday last year and forgot to leave a review until now. The overall experience was fantastic. Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and excellent service. They even surprised me with a special birthday cake and a greeting card, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a fine dining spot with a nice view, I highly recommend this place!

Stunning location and restaurant, the revolving floor gives you a 360 view of the city skyline. The food was so amazing too! The kingfish entree was some of the freshest sashimi I’ve ever had, complemented with some sweet oranges. The lamb spring rolls was spectacular, the flavour kick was unexpected and gave me a pleasant surprise. The mains was equally good - we had the lamb and steak, both were super tender with great flavours. The dessert was amazing too!

MOST HONEST REVIEW OF ASH ST CELLAR 2024 It is snack sized. Don’t bring a large group unless you’re spending a lot. Scallops: 7/10 great flavour Bread: 5/10 Beetroot: 7.5/10 very good Wild Boar Ragu: 6.5/10 It was cooked well but the seasoning wasn’t what it could be. The Wild Boar flavour was over powered by aged Parmesan. Pork Cutlet (Milanese) - 8/10 Very good, although a lot of bone. Market fish 6/10 - it was something like $36 and it’s just one fillet of John Dory overcooked, for that price there shouldn’t be any faults and it should be clever and creative. The Chicken with eggplant and Raisin: 5/10 this dish wasn’t thought through and get rushed to get on the plate. Would none order Mb9+ Wagyu rump cap: It was cooked medium rare, Any chef that knows his steak knows that this cut is tough as nails at medium rare and needs to be cooked to medium. Lack of cooking knowledge and amateur mistake, we couldn’t eat this dish, it wasn’t edible which is a problem cause it is expensive. The waiters saw us complain and turned the blind eye… that borderline ruined the experience. Desserts were good but not great, first one was a panacotta with just some pistachio and literal honey over the top which anyone could do at home. Meringue Eton mess: Was nice and refreshing, Would recommend order. Lowdown: it’s good for buisness people who don’t know about food. Not good for large groups or people who like dislike small portions.

Had the $75 chef’s tasting menu tonight and it was just okay. The highlight was the cacio e pepe arancini and the grilled focaccia with the hummus. Sadly the mains (chicken and pasta) were mediocre, nothing too special especially at the price point I was expecting to be wow’d. For dessert, they served panna cotta with a sprinkle of pistachios and literal honey. My friends said they enjoyed it and it reminded them of a soft serve but to me it was not very well thought out, literally tasted like yogurt with honey (which can be made at home). However, service was quite good considering we were in a big group. If the opportunity ever came up I would go again for their à la carte menu and give them another go.

I would absolutely recommend the tasting menu as you get to try a little bit of everything. Super delicious and fresh dishes. The service however, was lacking. Our dinner ended up taking three hours due to the slow service.

This place is absolutely amazing! The food is so delicious with great gluten free garlic bread and amazing casein free and gluten free almond slice with cherry sorbet! Chicken and beef was good too. We had amazing cocktails too. The atmosphere is great in the ivy lane. Will definitely be back here again!

Everything was great until a waitress brought me the duck breast I didn’t order. I told her I didn’t order it so she took it away. A few minutes later she came back with the duck breast and said she confirmed with the kitchen that it’s mine. I told her no I ordered the grilled market fish. The waitress who took my order was standing behind me so I talked to her hoping she could remember. When I made the order, I explicitly asked her what’s the fish today and how much it was since it’s labelled as MP on the menu. She had an attitude and insisted that I ordered the duck breast. Anyway the duck breast was taken away again and I thought I could finally get my fish. Another lady who seemed to be the manager came with the duck breast again and asked me if I ordered it. I was like wth??? How many times did I have to explain? I DID NOT order the duck breast. I ordered the FISH. In the end I got my grilled fish and complimentary fried potatoes. I still chose to give a 4 star rating since the food wasn’t bad. The team was nice except the waitress who took my order.

Above average Chinese 'fine' dining. Overall good was decent. Peking duck was good; flavorful, good skin, moist meat. However, the clams were slightly bitter, and the vegetables decent. Restaurant was a quite loud too, but service was good. Nice place to take those from out of town, but would maybe look elsewhere if you want to find a more traditional, good wok hay place. More catered to a western palette.

I will say because this place was highly spoken about by almost everyone in the city I did have very high expectations. I knocked off a point because the drinks weren’t that great that next time I would probably skip out on them. The food though were very generous portions and quite good. Surprisingly I really enjoyed the fried rice, duck and a cold chicken dish at the very beginning. I would come back but I’m a huge group to try their extensive menu!

Every time when I visit Sydney, I would revisit Mr Wong because of the decent inner design and decoration of the restaurant and the Chinese food. Honestly not every dish served in this restaurant tastes exactly the same as it should be in the actual Chinese cuisine recipe but I really like the red bricks and the ancient Chinese decorations inside the restaurant. This restaurant is so popular that there is a time limit for dining within 90 minutes, which I don’t particularly like and understand.

This place is a gem! Great food, creative cocktails, and the service is outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable evening. Can't wait to visit again!

The best fried rice I’ve ever had! Perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection ✨ The dim sum was also amazing—fresh, thin, and full of flavor. Other dishes were great too, and the staff were super nice, friendly, and attentive. One of the best meals I’ve had in Sydney! 🥟🥢

Very nice place!! I would recommend coming here. The drinks are very cool and delicious. Price examples: $22 for a hot dog and $20 for a burger in the city! Booking in advance is helpful for times after 7:30-ish. General Con: the two-people seating might be cozy and small depending on where you've been seated. My friend and had a great time even with our cozy seating situation.

I visited Stitch Bar last week, and I can’t stop thinking about it! The atmosphere was incredible, with a unique, cozy vibe that’s perfect for a night out in Sydney. I recently found a picture of their chicken tenders on my phone, and it brought back such great memories. The food was top-notch—the chicken tenders were crispy, flavorful, and just delicious! Between the fantastic food, the ambiance, and the friendly service, Stitch Bar is a must-visit spot. I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in Sydney again!
