Bentley Restaurant + Bar

Posting this in retrospect from Valentine’s Day 2024. This was really one of the best fine dining meals I’ve had over the last few years, and I’ve been to a lot, including 3 Michelin star restaurants in London. This night topped those. There was only one dish we weren’t impressed with, which was the beef jerky. Everything else had phenomenal flavour and balance. The sommelier was amazing as well, dedicating a lot of time to answer our questions.

Bentley: 2 Hats with a score of 18 (same as Quay, Sixpenny, Attica, Ides) We chose the 3 course meal for $150. For this calibre of restaurant it seemed to be well priced. The starters were delicious! Enjoyed each one. -Smoked Eel Custard with activated charcoal brioche -Mussel pearl meat - Salted lamb - Zuchinni flower tart Entree was great. We chose the tuna & the duck breast. The duck had a slight dusting of Szechuan pepper (which I am not a fan of - but it wasn't off putting) The mains were delicious.. But after a few bites it became a bit heavy on flavour. (Many would like that - I have been eating a bit more clean the past couple of weeks - so my palate might be a bit off!) The chips were average. (we feel they rushed this out to us) The tomato side was awesome! Service was wonderful. They were late with bringing out the sides and made them complimentary. Atmosphere was nice. Slightly too close to the table beside us. We could often hear their conversation and they surely could hear ours. All in all a very pleasurable meal. Would definitely recommend!

The dining service is exceptionally friendly and attentive, with each dish being uniquely crafted. The flavors tend to lean towards sweet and sour, making it highly recommendable. If choosing between three or seven courses, the latter is recommended.

We went to lunch for our wedding anniversary and got the tasting menu. The food was top notch in terms of presentation, flavours and petiteness. Highly recommend the pearl meat dish, pork neck, wagyu and the liquorice custard desert. The staff were great and so were the cocktails.

This has to be the most underrated restaurant in Sydney. The service and quality to detail was outstanding! Food quality and presentation were well though out and each dish was created with detailed balance across the tongue. I highly recommend the pairing whether the non alcoholic pairing or the sommelier pairing which will allow you to not stay with just wines but explore other beverages that pair better with certain dishes. I would give this place a 1 - 2 star Michelin equivalent and it definitely deserves the hats it has received.

My visit to Bentley Restaurant and Bar was truly memorable. The professional and friendly welcome set the tone for an enjoyable evening. The scallops carpaccio was a standout, along with the oysters and pork neck. However, the peach dessert was too sweet for my taste. Nevertheless, the outstanding wine list more than made up for this slight disappointment. In summary, it was a culinary journey filled with flavors and discoveries. I highly recommend Bentley Restaurant and Bar to anyone who appreciates good food and fine wines.

Good food and service. Had matching wines which were good. Sydney has some excellent restaurants and although this was enjoyable, I would not be going back.

An extremely enjoyable experience, wonderful team and especially the lovely female Sommelier and the Scottish manager - food was exquisite too. One of the most memorable meals I’ve had in Sydney, thank you for a fantastic night!
