Best Casual Restaurants in Redfern

Lovely lunch with delicious food and excellent service. Atmosphere was great with the music not too loud and we could easily talk and hear each other.

We have just had the most magnificently tasty Sunday lunch at Margaret. We didn't leave a mouthful of any of the three courses. It took a leisurely two hours which we thought was perfect timing, not rushed but we were not waiting around either. Everything was absolutely delicious. When we are in Sydney from London we now try to eat at Margaret. Previously we have eaten at Rockpool and the grill. Margaret is bright and breezy by comparison. The staff are friendly and efficient. They want to talk about the food and are very helpful with making choices from the extensive menu. The food is outstanding. For us the portions were perfect with wonderful imaginative complex flavours. We went fifty/fifty on the duck breast and grilled ocean trout and both were fantastic. We even had room for a dessert. Out of curiosity I chose the souffle pudding. I would never have thought of putting pine nuts in a dessert but it gave a great contrasting texture. The souffle was really more than I needed but I sacrificed myself and finished it. One staff member confided that although they worked there it was their favourite place to eat. We agree.

Wonderful food, wonderful wine list, wonderful service. Very enjoyable! I would be a regular if I lived in Sydney!

A lovely and cosy little restaurant that serves delicious and authentic Italian food. Had dinner with a friend for our birthday celebration last night and we had an amazing time. We asked the waitress who served our table for recommendations and her personal favourites were on point, including the wine, THANK YOU Ivey! The sardine toast is a must try, silky and tasty lagane e lenticchie was another great recommendation, to top it off the brodetto blew us away with the fresh Murray Cod and mussels, everything in this dish just goes so well with each other and the Murray Cod was perfectly cooked. Recommend to order a piece of bread to soak up the prawn broth. It’s recommended to look for the street number instead of the signage as its small sign and could be easily missed.

Always love time at Next Door - thank you a great lunch in every aspect.
