Our restaurant & workshop share space, but more important are the views we share - that if we can make it ourselves, we will. That traditions guide but do not rule. Rising Sun Workshop does not support factory farming, what we buy in we buy local, from roasters, smokers, brewers, growers, winemakers & distillers who share our philosophies - our mates.We’re here for your crazy & not so crazy dietaries, not all things are possible but with a little notice they might be.

This was my second visit for breakfast. Unfortunately, our first visit was a lot better than this one! I the Florentine Croissant and it was stone cold. I couldn’t eat it. My partner had The Factory Breakfast, he enjoyed it. Coffee was good, and service was lovely. I wouldn’t visit for “amazing” food, but the building and fit out is very cool.

It was our first time at the grounds of Alexandria for lunch at the Potting shed. The ambience was great, the shed is beautifully decorated, the wait staff was welcoming, friendly and gave good service. The dessert, cocktails and the classic dishes were all delicious 10/10 :)

Had a wonderful experience at Rengaya Burwood. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They took the time to take a photo of the table reserved for us and messaged me in advance to ensure that it met our expectations. Since we were celebrating a birthday, I requested a slightly bigger table, and they kindly accommodated my request. Their consideration made our celebration more special. Highly recommend this restaurant for the excellent service!
