About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for brunch
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.

    Fantastic evening, arrived very early but led to the bar for a drink and pivoted to eating there as well at our request. Nothing was a problem for Oliver and his staff. Food was sensational, wine amazing as always. Wonderful conversations with barman Bill and our waiter Alejandra and Oliver as charming as ever. Will be back again over the weekend it was that enjoyable!

    Next Door next level. Our hostess Francesca made the day exceptionally special from wine and food recommendations to her exquisite service. Prawn cutlets are a must and the cheeseburger was sensational along with some tasty sides. Be back soon.

    What a great experience. All our servers were attentive, kind and pleasant. We were a fairly big group and some family members have big personalities - which were dealt with brilliantly: polite, respectful and with great humour. Menu was brilliant, food was delicious and fresh. Produce excellent. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

    This place reflects the neighbourhood and the patrons perfectly. There are no surprises. If you like the neighbourhood and the local residents (I do)…..it is a near perfect experience.

    Food and service was great, unfortunately the mishima burger was a real let down. To many wet ingredients for a burger and no flavour

    The food was excellent, but the service was very slow. Our glasses of wine we ordered sat on the bar for 15 minutes that we could see before we got the drinks served to us. As you would expect the wine was warm by this stage. We then had to get ice to chill our wines, which deleted the lovely taste of the wine. We were then left feeling that the staff were rushing us and trying to clear the table as soon as we put our cutlery down. Food terrific, but service was average for the price we paid.
