What people say
One of the best restaurant in that part of town! The food is impeccable, generous, super fresh, fine dining level for many dishes, best dumpling around for example, yet the prince tag is very friendly. The wine collection is remarkable and punch above many fancy place. Ask to have a look in the rack and pick one of the great Aussie vineyard, plenty of 2018 and 2019 perfect for this winter! Just leave a bit for me xx
Absolutely love this spot, its a real hidden Gem. The food is to die for, my favourites are the john dory curry and the prawn toast but honestly everything is great. Loved the service, and personal touch from owner Vlad, who sent over complimentry limincello shots. Would highly recommend coming here you wont be dissapointed!
2.5. Food is tasty but portions are very small, despite being advertised as sharing plates. The duck pancakes had a tiny amount of duck in them, which for 26 dollars you would not expect. Ribs were nice
Absolutely love Van Espresso Bar! One of my favourite places to eat in Sydney by far. The food was incredible - loved the John Dory Curry and Sashimi. The wine selection was fantastic and the service was 10/10. Will absolutely be back!
We had an early sitting (5:30pm) on a Saturday. Loved the quiet ambience and fitout. Complimentary bubbles on arrival (pays to know people 😉). Amazing varied interesting menu. Food was delicious and so beautifully prepared and presented - the oysters are a must !! Service 10/10. Polite, attentive and friendly. We will be back as we need to keep working our way through the fusion-esque offerings! Highly commended.
