Best Historic Restaurants in Chippendale

The staff was very friendly, and professional. They accommodated our requests, and the food was delicious! We had a wonderful dining experience!

We had a great table for 2 at the front edge, with a clear view of the opera house and the people strolling the waterfront. The linguine with seafood was delicious, as was the burrata and the Italian beer. Tiramasu was tasty, but we wished we had shared because the portion was huge! On Christmas Eve, it was very busy, so service was a bit off, but all the servers were so pleasant that I can’t fault them.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere at The Grounds. The decor is stunning, and the ambience makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. They’ve put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming environment. The service stood out for me. It was the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness, which made the whole experience even better. Everything about The Grounds—from the decor to the overall vibe—felt thoughtful and inviting. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to unwind and enjoy excellent service.

Went to Gavroche for the first time with my partner and we absolutely loved it! The food was incredible, the service and the atmosphere was great it was just what we needed for date night! Thank you!

Fantastic space for your group to have a catch up without the loud business of downstairs. The speaker was broken so we didn’t have music and it could do with a floor fan as the Saturday we were there it was 34deg and humidity was unbearable
