Wilhelmina's - Balmain

A pre dinner drink is an indulgence that we love to experience when time permits. Sometimes these turn into much more as once you settle in it can be hard to actually leave. We were in picturesque Balmain and dropped in at a quaint bar called Wilhelmina’s. A bar means drinks and we decided on a couple of cocktails. The list here is good and they also offer to make any traditional cocktail you may want. This flexibility is great to see. We ordered an espresso martini a classic and one called “between the sheets” which was a lovely tangy combination of brandy, Cointreau, white rum and lemon.

Dropped in to Wilhelmina's for a lazy Sunday afternoon very late brunch/lunch. From the initial croissant and coffee we moved onto the Sunday lunch special of lamb backstrap off the BBQ. This was absolutely delicious tender and moist and cooked medium rare to perfection. A serious surprise and delight. Accompanying salads on the plate were a mixed bag unfortunately with the coleslaw was big fail. The ambience and decor is relaxing and lends itself pretty well to kicking back with drinks, food and friends. Certainly works on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

We have eaten here and had a function as well. Every experience has been wonderful. Our function went smoothly and couldn't have been a better experience. Any communication was prompt and courteous. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. The staff on the night did a fantastic job of ensuring everyone always had a drink and got plenty of food, without being intrusive. I needed to stack a cake on site a few hours before we were due and that was no problem. I can't speak highly enough of the staff and management and I would definitely recommend Wilhelmina's for a great coffee, a meal or a stress free special occasion.

Great food, whilst not quite hitting the heights it could have! Owner/ manager had great personality, some of the service staff, hit and miss

What a great place! I had a lunch meeting with a client and not being familiar with Balmain (I'm from Melbourne) I asked her to chose the place and boy am I pleased she chose here. Super cute place, great service and awesome food. We both had the Chili Roasted  Pumpkin and it was delish! To top it all off, when I realised I had misplaced my receipt Dan was really kind and tracked down a copy for me and emailed it through lifesaver! Thanks Dan and crew at Whilhelmina's I will be back.
