Next Door is the sister restaurant of Margaret, which, quite literally, sits next door to it at the corner of Bay St and Guilfoyle Avenue. Featuring a rolling 12-hour lunch-to-dinner menu, the bar brings you a selection of specially curated small plates such as Woodfire Grilled Peppers, Cherry Tomatoes with Oregano, Braised Zucchini with Mint, Chilli and Pecorino, as well as an amazing selection of Consorcio, Cuca, Pollastrini, Ortiz and Real Conversas tins with some freshly baked sourdough from Baker Bleu. It's also home to the famous Perry hamburger.

"It's just a place to get some really nice hospitality, chill out and enjoy your day," Neil Perry.
Sandwiched between Baker Bleu and Margaret, the indoor dining area is cosy and comfortable, with marble-top tables and an open bar and kitchen.

    Usually I love Next Door but as often happens with restaurants it is slipping. My pasta was undercooked, served cold with very little flavour. The crab meat was clumped together and not seasoned at all. Chips were also cold. Main meal was very slow coming out and we had barely finished when the waiter brought the bill as he “had another party for the table”. My plate was full (uneaten) and he did not even ask if there was a problem. I had also emailed when booking to ask for a cupcake for my companions birthday (I have always been given one for a birthday at these venues) and despite her birthday being acknowledged on arrival the celebratory cupcake was never presented. Next Door felt very ‘numbers game’ - get the diners in and out. Service was terribly average. I won’t return which is a shame. I’ve been a consistent customer. I hope Margaret where I also eat at frequently has kept up the standard.

    It is the best! Always an excellent experience. Superb food and even better staff who are wonderful, engaging, friendly and knowledgeable about the food in the detail that is typical of service staff at two hat restaurants. Thank you Next Door!

    Being bothered every 5 mins about ordering our food and getting the bill because they need the table back ruined the experience. We were aware of the sitting time and more than happy to comply but this does not mean u need to remind us every 5 mins and rush our ordering process and getting the bill process. Constantly disrupted is not a vibe.
