Henry Sugar - Melbourne

Since 2019, this restaurant has been serving an interesting winter menu. All the options are a bit on the heavy side, with dishes like kartoffel hasch, crab tartlet, and comte donuts standing out as excellent choices. The atmosphere is beautifully treated and balanced. Although the chips were also excellent, the brussel sprouts dish fell flat and lacked the expected punch. The cream celeriac cake and fennel ice cream desserts were all excellent, but didn't quite come together as a cohesive meal. The prices are borderline for the value, especially if you don't go for one of the larger dishes like steak, fish, or risotto. The smoked duck option in the tasting menu was the only really interesting choice. Despite some issues with the service starting to lag as the meal went on, the overall experience was enjoyable, thanks to a well-reviewed wine list, great cocktails, and a nice atmosphere.

I hosted a birthday dinner for close friends at Henry Sugar on a Saturday night. I was looking for a restaurant that offered a mix of elegance and casualness, with excellent and innovative food, a cozy atmosphere, and a touch of charm. Henry Sugar delivered on all fronts. The staff was exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure our evening was perfect. Although our table was delayed due to the previous group staying longer than expected, the team made us feel well taken care of. The food was outstanding, with everyone in the group (some picky eaters included) raving about the creativity and deliciousness of the menu. The desserts were divine and the wine selection offered wonderful pairings. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and not overly intrusive, making us all want to linger all night. Everyone in our party agreed they would highly recommend Henry Sugar to others and we all plan to return soon. Don't wait too long to try this gem before it gets too busy to get a reservation. Thanks to the team, I had a perfect evening. The extensive drinks list, cozy atmosphere, and friendly professional service make Henry Sugar a truly special place.

This restaurant was amazing from start to finish. The food was seasonal, fresh, and delicious. The kitchen staff and waiters were very attentive to my partner's severe food allergies and intolerances. We wanted to clean our plates they were so good. The waiters were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We couldn't find a single flaw in our dining experience. We would love to visit again.

We found this venue online and were very happy surprised when we visited this little shade in rathdowne street. the maître d’ advised that it was the second night of the restaurant in 2022, so that it was the year with a very high. Service levels have begun. the accommodation offers a relaxing and elegant atmosphere. we sat outside and chose to share meal times of pork with cauliflower, flank steak and aubergine and chips that were all really delicious, especially the meat sauces and the garlauchaioli with the chips. many gluten-free options also. we would definitely recommend this venue for drinks or a delicious meal and look forward to the return.
