Rita's Bar and Kitchen

New modern look. Sunday lamb roast for $30 is delicious. The pizzas and burgers are generous portions too. Nutella pizza was a hit among the kids. Service was a little slow but it's understandable under current restrictions. Plenty of seating available. No pets allowed (only on pub side).

Yum! Pizza was so fresh and wood fired. Tuna crackers were great and a different touch on a dish, do try. You can sit outside with your dog too which is good

Classic pub grub in a beautiful setting. Woodfire pizza has beautiful crust and great toppings. Well cooked steaks with fresh chips. Fish and chips are generous portions. Only downer was the banoffee dessert which lacked a little finesse in the presentation.

Enjoyed my brunch at this chic and elegant restaurant located in Cat & Fiddle Hotel, Balmain. The food is flavourful and satisfying with beautiful presentation in every dish. Here’s what’s on the menu: 🍖 Roast Porchetta with Dutch cream potatoes. The Pochetta is so thick, juicy, and delicious! Love how crispy the skin is, and the gravy is so yum! 🍖 Victoria Lamb Shoulder for 2, slow cooked in woodfire, and my gosh! The lamb meat is so tender, succulent, and perfect with the fresh salad and delicious Salsa Verde!🔥 🦑 Salt and Pepper Squid with grilled lemon and aioli. It’s crispy and light. Love that it’s not too greasy. 🦞 Balmain Bug with herb butter sauce, smoked salmon pearls, and bottarga. It’s tasty and succulent, love the simple herb butter sauce. 🧁 Dulce de Leche Molten Lava Cake with salted caramel ice cream and pink fairy floss. Perfect dessert to end the brunch!

Walking into Rita's Bar and Kitchen, next to the Cat and Fiddle Hotel was like walking into a beautiful oasis. The décor was so beautiful from the tropical greenery to the blue and white tiled wooden table tops. The food was absolutely delicious, the cocktail menu was extensive (the Lavender Lady gin cocktail was so refreshing) and the service was friendly and efficient. The best dish I ordered was definitely the woodfire slow cooked, melt-in-the-mouth, falling-off-the-bone Victoria Lamb Shoulder For 2. It was the BEST LAMB EVER! Accompanied by a fresh fig and feta salad, duck fat potatoes and salsa verde this is a total must order dish! Other dishes we enjoyed included the salt n pepper squid and Balmain bugs, we were in Balmain after all! And the perfect finale to our gourmet meal was the exquisite rich chocolate tart with seasonal berries. YUM! I highly recommend visiting at Rita's Bar and Kitchen in Balmain.
