Welcome to OUZO Bar & Dining. A Mediterranean bar and restaurant inspired by our recent travels through the region.
As you enter you'll find the bar, a quintessentially European combination of alfresco, booth & bar seating. With an 80 bottle wine list from sommelier Jean Draillard, an extensive cocktail list from head mixologist Euan Ferderer & the perfect Mediterranean snack menu from head chef Ignacio Morales, the bar is one of a kind. No bookings, no turn times for tables just walk-ins only so come whenever and stay forever.

Upstairs you'll find the dining room. Soaked in natural light from the sky lights and the adjustable roof, the dining room will be the perfect spot for anything from a long lunch to a late dinner. We have created the perfect Mediterranean menu, cooking over woodfire to enhance flavours. From traditional dishes like slow cooked lamb shoulder & taramasalata to burrata & wagyu sirloin, this menu explores a range of flavours and dishes from the Mediterranean.

Had a lovely time at Ouzo. We chose to pick our own little dishes as the set menu didn’t have what we wanted for mains. The lamb is probably the best I’ve ever had! But the only thing that let it down was the food came out a little bit cold, especially the duck and prawns. Other than that we had a lovely time.

Absolutely excellent. Food was delicious, the steak was some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was very fresh and incredibly tasty. We did the $99 premium set menu which is on the more expensive side for Sydney but well worth it. If anything there was actually too much food but that’s hardly something to complain about! Staff were excellent, have to say we really really enjoyed our meal and would absolutely recommend to anybody considering trying Ouzo out!
