The 38 Best Restaurants in Sydney, Australia | Eater

"Yellow went vegan during the pandemic, providing pretty remarkable meat-free options at the fine dining level. Big credit goes to co-owner Brent Savage, who has offered meaningful and creative alternatives to animal proteins for more than 15 years; his flagship Bentley restaurant presented inspired vegetarian tasting menus long before “plant-based” was a buzzword. As part of Yellow’s evolution, chef Sander Nooij took over the business after authoring brilliant snacks (chargrilled shishito peppers with a Kewpie-inspired sesame mayonnaise) and knockout dishes (smoky tomatoes with an electrifying roasted cashew cream). Know before you go: Nooij’s commitment to sustainability has led to intriguing culinary experiments, like taco shells formed from mushrooms." - Lee Tran Lam

The 17 Best Vegan Restaurants in Sydney, Australia | Eater

"Brent Savage’s flagship vegetarian fine diner turned fully vegan during the pandemic, and it’s pulling some truly impressive moves under head chef Sander Nooij. The minimal dish names — like Braised Leek + Green Garlic + Potato Sauce, for example — understate how utterly flavor-loaded they really are. How the potato sauce tastes like rich, buttery whipped mash is a mystery, even when servers patiently explain it. Also glorious: skewered mushrooms topped with whipped tofu, fermented chile sauce, and roasted nori, among other dazzling menu staples." - Lee Tran Lam

Yellow – A Plant-Based Revelation It’s genuinely hard to believe Yellow is a vegan restaurant. The absence of dairy and meat does nothing to compromise the quality or depth of flavour, each dish is a testament to how refined and satisfying plant based cuisine can be. As someone who loves butter, cream and cheese, I’m consistently impressed by how the team at Yellow crafts such delicate, elegant flavours without them. The food is thoughtful, beautifully presented, and challenges everything you think you know about vegan dining. The vibe is energetic and modern, with terrific service that makes the experience feel polished yet relaxed. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t just serve great food, it reshapes your perspective on what great food can be. An excellent night out, and a must visit for anyone curious about the heights plant based cooking can reach.

Our family had lunch at the restaurant last weekend and everything was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed each course — it was clear that a lot of thought went into the creation of each dish. The house-made non-alcoholic drink was also excellent. A truly memorable experience.

Enjoyed the 5 course truffle tasting menu. Absolutely fantastic vegan food with unique and wonderful flavour pairings that worked really well. The service was attentive and the atmosphere lovely. Although the non-alcoholic pairings were delicious and inventive, they weren’t really a pairing for the food, but regardless would return for the drinks alone! Highly recommend.

Awesome experience with my family at Yellow. The food is amazing, and each dish was complex and had so many flavours. You also forget they are vegan! A second shoutout to the drinks as we tried a non alcoholic version of Sake and Pet Nat which was homemade!

Best restaurant! We love food and often eat in gourmet places but this restaurant really stands out (this was our favorite restaurant in our 3 months travel)! We absolutely loved everything about it. The food was delicious, nicely presented and while it was creative, it was yummy throughout the whole menu. You didn’t even notice that it was a vegan menu because the dishes were so rich and complex. The chef would deserve two Michelin stars. We also loved the atmosphere, the design and the outstanding service. It was professional yet a relaxing environment. Most impressively the price for such an experience is incredible. We’ve never had such quality gourmet food for this price. Price-value is unbeatable.

I recently dined at this wonderful restaurant and was blown away. The ambience was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a memorable evening. The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish showcased an incredible blend of flavours that left us in awe. The attention to detail and the exceptional service made the entire experience unforgettable. I can't recommend it highly enough

A memorable first vegan dining experience This was my first vegan dining experience, and it completely blew me away. The menu was creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. My favourites were the Polenta Chip with Avocado Salsa, the smoky Mushroom Skewer, the perfectly Grilled Dutch Carrots, the rich Potato Mille Feuille, and the comforting Banana with Kokuto Sugar and Chestnut to finish. Every dish felt thoughtful and balanced, and the service was warm and professional. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed. I left feeling full, happy, and genuinely excited about plant-based dining.

I had been here a few years ago and wasn’t impressed that time, so I was a bit worried this time. The vegan food was delicious — full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, ingredients. My least enjoyable dishes were the Potato Mille Feuille and the Pasta dish. My favourite dishes was not a dish but the chocolate petit fours. Very thin chocolate with caramel centre, to die for!! The staff were warm and attentive.

First, in the interest of honesty let me say that I am a carnivore, but that I have an open mind for adventurous eating. No matter that there was no meat here, it was "knock your socks off" good by any measure. I've eaten a lot of great meals, but this one stands out for its creativity and the ease with which it dispelled any thoughts that meals without meat are somehow lacking. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Each of the dishes was fantastic in its own right. They combined flavor and texture to make memorable mouthfuls from start to finish. The wine pairings were spot on. I wish that I didn't live an ocean away from this place so I could return on a regular basis. If you are eating in Sydney, this is a fabulous place to do it!

Fabulous evening here enjoying a six course vegan tasting menu by chef Grant King. Winner of best chef in Australia in 2016 it was a smorgasbord of flavors that would fool any normal person to think it was not vegan at all. All but one course on point. The only issue was the courses were too rushed to make way for the next sitting. Normally this would be a three hour meal packed into two hours. Excellent service, great wine list with European wines and super friendly. Loved the experience and would come back for the normal menu here. Great ambience, dim lighting and not too noisy. A great find in Sydney.

I had the best tasting most creative vegan food of my life here. Great wine, too. Trendy ambiance. Very professional servers gave detailed descriptions of each amazing serving, although I found them a bit uptight / cold...maybe a cultural thing ‍

Yellow is a vegetarian hatted restaurant in Potts Point that has established a good name for itself for its exquisite menu and fine service. Whilst the setting is bordering between fine dining and casual, the service is A class. The waiter was absolutely impeccable in every regards, and the other staff bringing food out promptly and explaining each dish in detail. They are currently showcasing a vegan/plant-based menu using plenty of fresh and colourful ingredients. It is $85 pp for the 5 course tasting menu and $105 pp for the 7 course. We opted for the 7 course and I think we would have been still hungry if we had chosen 5. We were lucky to have 30% off from the fork website booking. The restaurant is bright yellow painting brick building which has heritage features intact, and plenty of seats inside and out. We were seated outside which was a shame (I had asked but none were available inside). It was quite challenging for the 4 of us to complete a 2 hour tasting menu on wooden picnic seats with no backs and the other half of us with backs to the window sills. Whilst we had nice food, it was extraordinarily uncomfortable for a dining experience. We had to get up numerous times which detracted from the overall feeling. We'd recommend some sort of cushions or comfy chairs for the outdoor area. We have listed the menu below and some of our thoughts on the dishes. The food is presented beautifully with great technical ability shown by the chefs in the intricate design and cooking methods. In regards to our personal palate, as always, taste is the perspective of the diner. The first plate of three mini snacks included Blini and Sea Lettuce Leek tart Australian Butter Pumpkin (All nice little tasters, daintily presented together on one plate) Watermelon radish + Green Apple + Wild Fennel (a refreshing start and beautifully presented, but we didn't love this one) Tomato + Smoked Almond + Pepperberry (the tomato slices served on the almond dip was creamy and tasty dish) Carrot + Macadamia + Oat (this was quite lovely, the carrot sticks sitting in the macadamia emulsion topped with granola, but we thought it would be better as a hot dish) Borlotti beans + Pine Mushroom (a saucy dish of a soft bean and mushroom mix, enough sauce to dip the bread in to) Rye Brioche Roll + Butter (we were expecting more from the bread as it looks Incredible, but not as fluffy as you'd expect. Maybe the absence of real butter) Sweet Corn + Chilli + Tomatillo (this was a few uses of corn in a purée, charred corn and a fried crunchy top, probably our favourite of the savoury) Broccolini with sesame (served as a side) For dessert, we quite enjoyed the Vanilla Ice Cream (made with soy milk) + served with Fresh Pistachio + plump and colourful figs For drinks, you can order matching wine for $100 pp or a non alcoholic match $75 pp. However the drink list is extensive, so you may prefer to order your choice of wine, beer, spirits, cocktails or mocktails. We had the alcoholic "peach cobbler" with Makers Mark Whiskey, Licor 43, Peach and Lemon. We also had a non-alcoholic drink using seedlip garden, thyme, citrus and Aquafina. Lovely drinks!

I called on a Friday evening to book brunch the next day and he made me feel bad for calling "during a Friday night service"....when the website told you to call if experiencing difficulty with online booking. I got here on Sunday morning and asked if they had anything similar to a mimosa and he looked at me like I was subclass scum. Bad experience with snobby staff.

Omg.....this has to be the best meal I ever had. I came in search of somewhere vegan for dinner and landed on Yellow. I wanted to do something nicer (it had reservations and looked fancier online) and boy did this place blow my mind. This is hands down the best vegan meal I have ever had, and definitely is so memorable, even against the best non-vegan meals I've had. And ironically, I showed up the day they got their Second Hat (Australia's Michelin star) and first veg restaurant to do so. what an amazing place, from top to bottom. I won't waste words describing each item in the vegan tasting menu I did,...just look at the pictures....but seriously every last item was Ah-MAZING. They also have a vegetarian tasting menu, and regular a la carte, and it wasn't overly stuff atmosphere...I came dressed decent, but still had jeans on and felt like I was in the right place. I will be back again next time I'm in SYD...for sure.

I would have to rate this as one of my favourite meals while visiting Sydney. Vegetarian fare is not for everyone and let me start by saying I am not a vegetarian. Over the years, I have appreciated vegetarian cuisine because it is very hard to make good vegetarian cuisine. So I did the 5 course lunch tasting menu. My favorite dishes were: the avocado dish and the zucchini with quinoa. The best thing I thought was the raw carrot "amuse"/starter. It created a good starting impression for the entire meal. There are different ways vegetarian tasting menus make sure you feel satisfied afterwards. At Yellow, the heavy dish was the rice dish. They give you a lot which was a bit too much for me given the tasting nature of the meal and the fact that there was also a bread service. Food quality was spot on. Plating was good, not too fancy but professional yet homey and well-thought of. Service was ok. They were good but not consistent depending on the person. For example when I sat down the person just automatically got me tap water which was fine. While another server asked the person who just sat next to me if they have a preference for sparkling or tap. I prefer sparkling. Another example is certain servers who bring a course explain dishes in more detail than others. Definitely a place I'd come back to in Sydney.

Vegetarian Wednesday at Yellow ! YES ! The menu is designed to share with a choice of 5-6 entrees (8-12$), small (from 18-25$) and large plates (from 25-30$). They recommend to take 2 to 3 dishes per person...we went with 2 and that was filling enough for us. There is also a banquet style for 60$ that is great value if you are feeling a bit more hungry ! Overall I was very positively surprised by both the food and service/atmosphere. The restaurant is quite cosy and chic but not too fancy. It is dark with lights on each table which I like. The tables have a good space in between so it is intimate. The service was great, present but not too pushy and very friendly. The menu was perfectly explained. Only minus is the mains took a while to be served... Regarding the food we had: - radish with fennel butter : well done but nothing's too exciting - pea mousse with daikon: amazing ! Highly recommend this was a highlight for me. Mousse was creamy and sweet with crunch from buttermilk crumbs and freshness of daikon...perfect mix of texture - smoked eggplant with Parmesan and hazelnut : unusual way to cook it and it was delicious. But the portion size is really small fro 28$... - parnip pappardelle with yolk and pine mushroom: very inventive and well done, great taste association, interesting but not a huge fan of the taste overall Go there to be surprised by vegetarian options ! You will have a good time !

Nice setting, but this place is rankly overpriced. I'm sorry but 32 dollars for a dish that is essentially two strips of eggplant, some crushed corn and miso broth is extortionate. Moreover, the mains are tiny portions. There is nothing overly skillful or innovative about the food preparation. It's trying very hard to be gourmet but comes up well short. We left having paid over $100, and we were still only half full.

I've been meaning to go to yellow for at least 2 years and I'm super glad I finally made it earlier today. I had to order their poached eggs consommé. I also ordered the liquorice bread to share and my boyfriend ordered the scrambled egg, thick bacon, and tomatoes. The poached eggs didn't disappoint. The consommé was full of flavour and light at the same time. I love the different texture in the dish including the fregola looking thing. It was amazing! The poached eggs were quite rich so I got full from that. The waitress suggested I ordered a slice of bread as it may not be filling enough. I ordered it but found out I actually didn't need it. The grilled liquorice bread was amazing. Rather like banana bread but the outside was firmer. Soooo good! I'd come back for this! I tried the scrambled eggs and it was so full of flavour. Normally I like my bacon thin and crunchy but this one was smokey and full of flavour. I can't wait to go back.

We didn't discover this gem, tucked away and unassuming, until four days into our trip when we wanted somewhere new to try for breakfast. Yellow Completely blew us away! I had the pancake with trout and my husband had the baked eggs with Parmesan and cauliflower. We also shared a croissant (this was after a night of wedding drinking). The pancake was quite literally one of the best tings I've ever eaten. I come from a soviet background so both bagels with smoked fish and blinis and caviar are staples for me. This combined the best of both and stole this soviet girl's heart... and appetite! My husband is a hugely devoted fan of traditional baked eggs... at least he was until he tried them here. The combination of ingredients was so flavorful and inventive yet well balanced and satisfying that he all but licked his plate. Lastly, I never expected that one of the best croissants I've ever had would be in... Australia! But their croissant earned it. We raved about Yellow to our Aussie friends and will make it a point to return on our next visit. I should note they only do breakfast/brunch on weekends. Our one regret is that we didn't get to have dinner here.

Where do I start? Actually that's easy. The licorice bread. I know, I know, licorice not for everyone. And bread isn't that exciting. But this not overwhelming licorice; it's, like, gooey, salty, buttery, perfectly balanced, perception-altering goodness, all packaged up in a perfectly-cut, black, little cubes that looked like they were cut out of a molcajete. It was pretty amazing. If I had to offer some criticism on this dish, it would be the portion size. I would highly recommend that they increase it to, oh I don't know, maybe 10 kgs? That would probably be enough. Probably. The poached eggs were also quite impressive, poached to perfection and perfect with a piece or two of sourdough. The baked eggs were good, but a bit rich for breakfast, and the scrambled eggs were, well, fine. Add to that great coffee, friendly service and a very cool location, and this is probably one of the best brunch locations in Sydney! Can't quite round up to 5 stars with the "good enough" scrambled eggs and baked eggs, but I'd be happy to give 4.5 if Yelp had the option! Oh, did I mention the licorice bread? I did? Good. Just making sure.

Divine. I have one vegetarian friend (we all have at least one) and so I thought I would give Yellow a go. As a verified non-vegetarian, I thought it was great. The food was interesting, textured, layered and engaging. The waitstaff were helpful and knowledgeable, and the sommelier right on the money with the wine we selected. Go. Whether you are vegetarian or not.

Gr8 location in Potts Point for breakfast we were able to park our bikes and sit outside for breakfast. The coffee was not good the barista didn't know how to make an espresso. We are locals and it's very hard to get a bad coffee in this area but there you go!! The food was average nothing special. Probably won't return for breakfast. We have had dinner at Yellow all was great. We dined at Yellow last night . Very rare in Potts Point that you can make a reservation a table for 2. vegetarian menu. So well presented,the food choice was not too extensive. Good wine list. We really enjoyed our meals. The liquorice desert was the best. The staff are great. We are going to try the degustation menu next.

I've been here two more times since my last review- both for breakfast. We went yesterday and they are currently partnering with Grey Goose to have something called La Boulangerie, which is basically highlighting bread made with the same wheat as the vodka. We had the pumpkin consumme with mushrooms and poached eggs and the artichoke, blood sausage puree, and white scrambled eggs. Both came with some of the bread they are showcasing. I loved both dishes. They offer something really interesting - not your typical breakfast. The pumpkin consumme is probably my favourite so definitely order that if you're torn. Also make sure you leave room for dessert. I hate licorice but was able to try the licorice bread the last time was there at is divine. It's grilled and served with homemade butter - so delicious!

Breakfast is very nice, especially the home made breads. And it's even nicer to directly move to lunch dishes after late breakfast. A great place to spend a light-hearted morning.

Why, just because you work or own a nice fancy place do you have to be so damn rude about it?? It's so rare to have food in a nice environment AND have good service, and yellow is no exception. The place is so nice, the big couches are comfortable, the music is good... but then you walk in and the owner is asking you rudely to "close the door quick", the food takes ages to arrive, and the waiter brings you the bill without you having asked for it, as a sign to please get out of here. If at least the food was irreproachable I would half forgive them, but it is not: the food is actually quite forgettable. We had two coffees, the lamb sandwich and scrambled eggs on toast. The sandwich was tasty although had too much sauce. The eggs on the other hand came with a pretty disgusting mayo that was completely unnecessary. We left with an unsatisfied feeling and the impression that we had been kicked out. Never again! Boo you Sydney "hipsters" with your beards and caps! No one should think they're too cool to be polite!

Absolutely fantastic dinner at Yellow last night-- it's the same people that do Monopole and Bentley and based on the food I had at the Bentley (I haven't been to Monopole) I wasn't expecting a stellar meal. Wow, was I wrong! My two friends and I decided to do a bit of our own tasting menu and opted for 4 starters and 2 mains. The starters were all a hit and better than the mains so the next time I go I'll probably just get one of all of the starters (don't judge). The beef tartare is probably the best dish I've eaten in some time and the lamb sweetbreads a close second. The chef pays a lot of attention to all of the elements on the plate here and everything paired beautifully together. The octopus was also a great dish with an excellent pea and wasabi puree. Make sure to get a healthy dose of their homemade bread and butter as well-- top the butter with a bit of salt to make it just that much better. For mains, we opted with the zucchini and quinoa dish as well as the sirloin. Both were good, but could not compare to the starters-- skip the zucchini dish as it was rather bland. The cocktails are also fantastic and the bartenders are very accommodating when it comes to substitutions if you don't like a particular type of alcohol. The bartenders also do a great job of asking you what type of drinks you like so that they can point you in the right direction for the perfect cocktail. A definite MUST DO in Potts Point!

This is easily the best food I have ever eaten. Everything was fresh, flavorful and worked together. The eggplant dish was my favorite, it was so delicious I felt like I shouldn't be eating it in public. I challenge anyone to eat here then tell me that vegetarians are missing out!!

Firstly, the coffee was ok but not spectacular. With that out of the way, everything else was really good. We had baked eggs and fried eggs with black pudding. If black pudding is your thing, they made the best one I've had in a long time. Not greasy at all. The yogurt mixed in baked eggs was a culinary delight.

I was really looking forward to try Yellow, we were ignored when we arrived 10 mins early for our 8.30pm booking and told by the manager some time later he would try and find a place for us to wait but he never came back so we went for a drink around the corner and returned at 8.50. When we returned they still didn't have our table ready. Our whole party was shocked when our friend told the waiter he had a peanut allergy only to be asked by the waiter if he would die if he ate peanuts! The service was very slow and there was a whole lot of attitude. Not a nice experience. After we left I rang and spoke to the manager Philip and he said that is not the behaviour of any of his staff and really just seemed to reject my recollection of the nights events. I would not recommend Yellow to anyone wanting a welcoming, friendly or caring dining experience which I find is common in vegan and vegetarian restaurants. I'm not really sure if they are just trying to jump on the vegan band wagon for marketing as they serve meat with breakfast options and animal products with dinner, very confused?

This place is AMAZING! We had the 7 course tasting with wine pairings. I'm a vegetarian, the other half is not. It completely blew my mind AND his as well. Make sure you come hungry - the 7 courses were larger than expected and we ended up slowing down at the end once the wine had been flowing for a bit. Unfortunately I was only in town a short while, otherwise I'd visit this place all the time. A+!

Yellow's a pop-up, no more. It's Old Yeller now, having earned its rightful place amongst the established stars of the Potts Point gastronomic firmament courtesy of the team that brought us Bentley and Monopole. Probation's up, says the headmistress. Time to lift those skirts! But the novelty of the New Kid on the Block has not worn off yet, at least not on me. In my defense, their weekend brunch may still be a newish thing. And OK, I got over the odd black geometric circles in the decor pretty fast and found that choice neither inspired nor interesting. I tried two of Yellow's weekend brunch offerings yesterday, both good - Cuttlefish, Avocado, Celery & Yuzu Vinaigrette ($18) Thin, delicate strips of celery covering a pile of finely sliced cuttlefish, slightly chewy and clean to the palate. Dabs of avocado puree, perhaps with egg yolks as an emulsifier, almost resembling the consistency of aioli. A nice brightness from the yuzu. The cuttlefish offered little flavor of its own, and was dominated by the celery. I liked the little spice mix, to me resembling dukkah, topping the salad. A good starter, light and unobtrusive, a bit one-note. Poached Egg with Charred Onion Consomme, Mushrooms & Peas ($16) 3 eggs poached sous vide, with egg whites assuming the form of melting custard and completely liquid orange centers, indistinguishable from raw. They were bathed in lukewarm onion broth, deeply savory and amazingly transluscent. A western, vegetarian pho, if you will. Off to the side were punctuated bites of salty chestnut mushrooms. Peas offered contrasting sweetness, and fun toasted oat (?) grains gave the taste and texture of popcorn kernels. A brilliantly conceived, and executed, dish. One star off for truly mediocre Vittoria coffee ($3.50). I no longer expect good coffee anywhere that brand is served. Why it is served at all is another discussion entirely.

We came here for dinner while on vacation. This place is absolutely fantastic! We ordered: Jerusalem Artichoke Tartlette + Mushroom + Black Truffle (x2) Eggplant + Corn + Black Garlic Young Carrots + Milk Tofu + Macadamia Forbidden Rice + Yellow Beans + Smoked Yoghurt The eggplant blew us away-- it came out layered with pureed sauces and had a ginger-chile broth poured over it at the table -- and we literally haven't had anything like this ever. The tartlettes were bite sized, and while delicious, we found them to be not worth the price. The carrots were also delicious, and we loved the milk tofu-- something else that we've never really had before or heard of. The forbidden rice came with the rice crackers and was like a rich porridge, but not quite as balanced as the other dishes. All in all, I wish we had this place in SF! Definitely up there with the veggie only restaurants we've been to.

So we set out this morning after arriving via a long flight the prior evening in search of something to eat. Strolled past and had a look at the menu, which looked very interesting, and tables were available. So we settled in and had a lovely meal - food was interesting and tasty, service was professional and polite, and we were not rushed. Noise level was pleasantly low and we were able to have a conversation without needing to shout. For me, fried eggs with pickled mussels and zucchini, sourdough toast with Szechuan marmalade; for my wife, poached eggs with pumpkin and mushrooms, liquorice toast. We're only here a few days, but we'll be back.

I went to Yellow on a Saturday night, when they offer only the prix fixe tasting menus -- which was fine, because that's what I was looking for. I ended up having the seven-course menu. [Note: the dishes were slightly different from what was listed on the Web, so don't expect an exact match.] The menu is not cheap, though not absurdly out of range by Sydney and Australian standards. The menu was outstanding. I've had multi-course veggie tasting menus in several places, and this was one of the two best (up there with a Zen temple meal in Kyoto). Several of the dishes had a lightly Japanese flavor to them, but not all, and it was a hint, not very pronounced. The dishes were creative, tasty, and fun. Also, the seven-course meal was *very* filling (not a given, at many tasting menus!). I have only one complaint about Yellow. When I called they were happy to take a reservation until I said it was for one person, at which point they said they were full up and could only seat me at the bar. I understand: you want to save your tables for couples and groups, not lose money over empty seats. I get it, and I'm okay with that. However, it turned out that they were not full at all. Three tables near me lay open the whole time (and more seemed to be open outdoors). Given that they took reservations for 6:00 and 8:30 and I was there until about 8:00, it's not like I left before those patrons arrived. Now let's even give them the benefit of doubt and assume they really were full, and really did have three groups cancel on them. It would have been a basic courtesy to, after a while, offer me one of the tables instead of having me sit for two hours on a backless bar stool while staff kept brushing past back and forth to the kitchen. It would have been a small but decent gesture (given that they don't charge any differently no matter where you sit), and their failing to do so was an unnecessary lack of courtesy that was inconsistent with the price point.

Excellent food. Definitely recommend the avocado entree, eggplant main and aniseed, fennel and pineapple desert. The service is very friendly but it can be a bit hard to get their attention, otherwise they'd be getting five stars. Bread, 3 entrees, 2 mains, 2 desserts, 4 glasses of wine and 1 coffee for less than $230 was excellent value for money given the quality. :)

Excellent restaurant for both brunch and dinner. At brunch, order the liquorice bread as an extra - it is so amazing and better than what you would imagine. Get in early on weekends for an outdoors table. Very exciting brunch menu - more interesting than the usual fare.

Yellow has all the hype of a fantastic dining experience, however the customer service is severely lacking. Don't take the 8:30 booking (we got seated at 9) as the staff at this point are obviously exhausted and they have no desire to make the experience pleasurable.

The place is big with both inside and outside seats, and seems to be always packed with people. The overall experience to us was not so memorable and satisfying. It was very dark to sit inside the 'Yellow house' on a beautiful saturday morning while other people are exposed to bright sunshine, and we were sitting inside super cold and could barely see the food and surroundings. We ordered two coffee, two type of breakfast and the famous liquior rice cake. Nothing was beyond expectation indeed, and the price is well above average. Will probably never go again and certainly will not recommend.

Had a fantastic dinner here with friends last Friday. Modern French gastro type cuisine with a big wine list of Aussie & European wines. Really enjoyed the quinoa & mushroom crackers (we ended up getting a 2nd serve), grilled octopus starter and beef tri-tip main. Delicious. Also shared a bottle of Mount Mary Reflexion 2009 after getting some good advice from the waiter. Great atmosphere, not too stuffy and the right kind of food for a cold winter's night.

Family of five visiting from the USA, two vegans in the group. All had a great meal and a great time, food was very fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this place even for the non vegan and non vegetarian!

Hello yellow. Not only are you my favorite colour, but now you come in the form of an awesome restaurant. We enjoyed matched wines over a five course degustation. Each dish was spectacular, starting with a fabulously refreshing steak tartare with a perfectly formed egg yolk - its a little chunkier tartare than most I've tried, so unleash your inner caveman and get into it. The lamb shoulder was also perfectly cooked and was served with a gorgeous jacket potato in the form of a cup cake. Attention to detail is at the heart of every dish. I also loved the ambience and friendly and knowledgeable staff - will definitely return!

Totally disappointed with heavily sauced and salty offerings. We were encouraged to order more than we initially wanted and left the last offered entree barely touched.

I was really looking forward to eating at this well reviewed vegetarian restaurant in Sydney but was deeply disappointed. Ordered the wine pairing and the waitstaff did not coordinate the wine with the food - I had almost finished my second course and the wine had still not arrived. So I had to cancel the wine after the first course. The food also was poorly designed and prepared. The first appetizer was good, but the second dish had undercooked chewy leeks wrapped in nori - and when you took a bite of the "sushi" the rolled leek popped right out. The third course had a practically raw eggplant as the centerpiece ---/No one, but no one, should serve undercooked eggplant. The course after that was a confused attempt at combining wild rice mixed with some labneh served with grilled zucchini. Inedible. As was the dessert - mango sorbet that appeared to have emerged from the supermarket coated in some green slimy stuff. What this tells me is that chefs still have not figured out how to make veggie food high end. They follow principles - undercooking, flavor layering etc that work for meat and seafood but not for vegetables. And if you are going to charge $75 for a meal your service should be impeccable. I suspect the good reviews have more to do with the lack of options with vegetarian cuisine in Sydney.

Wonderful modern, French cuisine. The restaurant was a great balance of setting, food, wine and service. Highly recommended for a nice dinner option.
