Sugarcane Coogee

Sugarcane Restaurant Coogee I was on my own , I decided to eat outside although the inside was beautiful. I asked for the vegan menu. The staff were accommodating and very friendly and the service was impressive. My sparkling water was brought first which I was grateful for, then my order. Betal leaf which was a little flavour bomb, I could have happily eaten 3. Then the Salt and pepper silken tofu which was outstanding. Then I had a half serving of Pad thai. It was very tasty. This restaurant serves non vegan meals as well. I would happily go back to this restaurant. yes I left a well deserved tip. #sugarcanerestaurant #bestfoodever # veganoptions # #livingmybestlife

(3.5 stars) Back on the rendang trail at Sugarcane in Coogee. This Southeast Asian restaurant is popular and my lack of planning saw us seated in a plastic tent on the sidewalk. No matter, the night was warm, and the Asahi Shuzo Dassai 45 junmai ginjo sake ($40/300ml) was cold and refreshing. It was just the ticket to accompany their raw platter ($47/large) which teams tuna, salmon and hiramasa kingfish sashimi with three sauces, torched salmon with ponzu and sesame, and a somewhat wacky scallop ceviche on cherry tomatoes and cos lettuce. While I’ve not tried sashimi with Thai nam jim jaew sauce before (it’s usually used with meats), it was an interesting experiment. But enough preamble… the wagyu beef rendang ($42) amped up the coconut with a last minute drizzle of coconut cream. The aromatic curry gravy was better than the last rendang I tried, but once you dug in, it was apparent that the kitchen had tried to hurry along the meat. This made it dry and charred underneath: with this particular curry nothing beats slow cooking. We had our curry with rice ($4/each) and an enjoyable green papaya salad ($22) that teamed snake beans, cashews, green papaya, carrot and mint in a chilli-lime dressing. The 2023 Rieslingfreak No. 3 Reverence of Riesling ($15) from the by-the-glass list makes a good companion wine. The rendang hunt resumes…

Great Dining Experience at Sugarcane. had a fantastic meal in here, I cannot choose which are my favorite because they're all so so good! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Friendly staff and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely a place I'll return 🥰

We have ordered the "trust you menu", waiting for the Chef to surprise us. It covers all the signature bites and main courses. If you want to try everything, recommend to go for it. The beef rendang with naan is my favorite!

Great Friday long lunch. The food and service was great. The food was presented and tasted excellent. Large main serving. So bring your appetite.

Wonderful dining experience tonight! The food was delicious and the service was attentive and quick. The interior is beautiful and busy restaurant, so make sure you make a booking ahead of time.

We were a little disappointed after our visit at sugarcane. The spring roles as a starter were nice. The Rendang curry was good but was lacking a bit of depth and the sauce seemed too thickened, the rice was dry and not fragrant at all. For our second main we ordered the crispy chicken with blood plum sauce. While the chicken was tender, the sauce was far too sweet. No dessert needed after that sauce! Service was fast and friendly.

Book well in advance for a weekend night (or any night for that matter). Also, make sure you've cleaned your ears out before you rock up because the bustle and conversation in this restaurant is loud but it all makes for great atmosphere. The kingfish is to die for and the crunch of the garlic on this dish is the perfect pairing. I also recommend the lamb ribs and wagyu rendang. Actually, I don't think Sugarcane would serve up a less than amazing dish. There's a huge wine list to choose from and plenty of cocktails to keep you hydrated. This would be the nicest and priciest restaurant in Coogee but a perfect night out (I really want to try their breakfast menu too).

Food is delicious！especially，great snapper，although a little bit salty to me～ Service is good too.

Absolutely fantastic meal. I'm not big on the whole "this was my entire day leading up to us sitting down to eat" type of reviews. This place is legit. Wonderful staff and a menu to match. Looking forward to our next trip to Australia so I can come back!

Food was pretty good!! Came here with a group of five and we all ate very well. We enjoyed the green mango salad, the chicken pad Thai, raw scallops, salmon ceviche, crispy chicken, and beef curry. I'd say the salmon ceviche was our least favorite. They also have an extensive wine list but we're out of our wine of preference.

One of the most memorable meals I've had in a long time! Decided to go with the "trust me" menu not knowing what would be served and it did not disappoint. I believe it was 9 dishes that I tried - honestly lost count after awhile because it was a ton of food! Although it was a lot, the quality and care that went into each dish was amazing. It was a great way to try a little of everything from minced pork lettuce cups to fish to Wagyu beef curry to crispy chicken (when we dined) and more. Opted out dessert because my stomach would have exploded. I'm unsure if the menu changes, but if you get a chance to try some of the things I mentioned, you won't regret it. Thank you Sugarcane for the fabulous meal(s) I enjoyed every moment of it!

Really great all around, although slightly on the pricey side for what is essentially classic southeast Asian cuisine. Loved the wagyu (short rib) curry, pork mince lettuce cups and stir fried Asian vegetables. Pisco sour was also quite good. Oysters should have liquor kept in them. But overall would definitely come back for another romantic meal!
