Song Bird is open 7 nights. Lunch Friday to Sunday.

Song Bird by chef Neil Perry AM offers a superlative culinary experience that blends the delicate flavours of Cantonese cuisine with the warmth and fragrance of traditional Chinese cooking. Reflecting Perry’s profound appreciation for Chinese culinary traditions, Song Bird’s menu is designed for sharing and is a testament to Perry’s commitment to cooking with fresh, locally-sourced premium produce.

Situated in Sydney’s Double Bay and set over three levels, Song Bird exudes a sophisticated yet welcoming ambience. Housed in the heritage-listed 1960’s masterpiece ‘Gaden House’, designed by architect the late Neville Gruzman, Song Bird's interior immerses guests in contemporary elegance with a subtle nod to Chinese sensibilities.

Neil Perry AM is one of Australia’s leading and most influential chefs. He has been the Food, Beverage & Service Director at QANTAS for 25+years, creating one of the best dining experiences in the sky.

    We had two tables. One for our daughters and one for our parents. And absolutely stunning Yum cha late lunch. The girls and parents absolutely loved eating at Songbird. We will do it again later in the year.

    Songbird is a wonderful restaurant. You must order the crab omelette so delicious. The dumplings are great too. Wine by the bottle is expensive but great cocktails and wine by the glass. Highly recommend going there.

    Food very much in the tradition of NP. People on the floor really solid but perhaps lacking that flawless authenticity. All the little things clock-up and when you are paying premium perhaps it is ok to have some expectations. Nothing at all wrong with any of the people.

    Thank you Neil and team for a lovely night. The staff were excellent. The trout was cooked to perfection on this occasion. Prawn toast always good. Is it possible for the wonton outer shell to be a bit less thick and rubbery? The fillings are always delicious. Thanks again.
