    Reminiscent of a French neighbourhood bistro. Food was innovative, interesting and superb. No fancy white tablecloths here just awesome food. Staff attentive and efficient. This was a great find and will be on our dining list when next we visit Sydney. Would recommend.

    I hadn't been here before despite living around the corner and was seriously impressed. They had read that I was veg and the waiter had already talked to the kitchen in advance of some dishes they could alter to support. Service was excellent, food was great, lots of wine and non alcoholic beverage options that weren't pure sugar. Lovely casual lunch with delicious food.

    Simply stated, feels like a Bucheon in Lyon, but with an Ozzie accent!

    Love what Porcine does - their attention to detail and laser focus on French cuisine not food trends. Great to have food that is different to a lot of other restaurants and executed so well. Highly recommend the pigeon parfait. Enjoyed a delicious bottle of skin contact Italian wine.
