Arrana

We had a marvellous experience at Arrana. We are so amazed with the flexibility that we all do not need to order the same set menu, some of us have the express lunch and some have the 7 lunch courses. The vegan pate is amazing, and the restaurant should commercialise and sell this. We will go back again and definitely worth the 2 chef hat year on year!!’

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at arrana. We got the seven course menu and I felt that they did a great job overall showcasing aussie native ingredients in each of their dish, especially the mocktails. Personal favourite was their mushroom dish just and beetroot sorbet whilst my favourite drinks included the respect your elderberries and pepperberry goldrush. Also loved the complimentary smoked bread. The owner Leisa and waitress Dani were super hospitable and my partner and I feel very welcomed.

I don't like eating out much at restaurants. I grew up in a "we have it at home" family, and then I learnt how to cook (and enjoy cooking!!) at home. Restaurant food always disappoints me in one way or another. Regardless of how much I spend (and I live pretty frugally), a 4-7 course meal lets me down somewhere in flavour or texture. I can honestly say, this is the absolute best place I've ever eaten. I'm glad we ended up going with the 7 course, but the 4 course has my top favourites (if I had to choose!). They have set the bar high for any fine dining experience. Don't scoff at the non-alcoholic pairings, they were DELICIOUS, full bodied and well paired. Leisas conversations and descriptions of the food and drinks were a delightful addition, and it was lovely to have Daniel come out to speak to too. My partner was having an existential crisis over how good the food was, and I'll be honest we both got momentarily emotional over how we cant get this standard anywhere else. So we look forward to coming back again sometime soon. Thank you for the tastebud friendly art you create to share with others. What an experience. Also how pretty is the bathroom!

I highly recommend Arrana, a fine dining establishment in Sydney, which beautifully embodies the essence of "home" in the local Aboriginal language. Chef Daniel's exquisite creations, featuring delicate native ingredients, are truly remarkable. The four-course meal was an unforgettable experience, and the desserts were simply divine! The exceptional service provided by Leisa and Michael made us feel incredibly pampered. I certainly plan to return for another delightful experience.

Took my hubby out for his birthday and we had an amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the waitress and shown to our seat. The decor and vibe were classy yet friendly and elegant without being pretentious. We had the 7 course degustation and every dish was mind blowing,thoughtful, artistic and most importantly, absolutely delicious!! All the waitstaff were friendly, professional and explained each dish in perfect detail. Highly recommended!!!
