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.

We dine out regularly and I follow numerous restaurants on social media. Upon seeing the opening of this new venue with such a big write up, I was excited to gather my friends and enjoy a Christmas lunch at the new Ouzo Bar and Dining. Unfortunately this restaurant did not meet our expectations. With a name like Ouzo, one would think that the venue would have a BIT of a Greek vibe. Not at all. Firstly, the music was SO loud, like we were in a night club. We had to shout to be heard. It was eventually turned down after we told them several times. With a group of 12, we were encouraged to go with the set menu. Again, unfortunately, not enough to feed 12 people. We were told the portions would be small so we were advised to add another main meal to our menu. I believe, when you order a set menu and you are paying $99pp, it should be enough. When it came to the dessert, we were given 4 plates, each with a slice of cheesecake to share between 12 people. To top it off, coffee was not even on the menu. A bit of a miss for us.

Hi Jenny! Thanks for taking your time to leave a review and we are sorry to hear you think our portion sizes were tiny. Since opening we have had great feedback about the quality and portion sizes of our food. We are a Mediterranean restaurant not Greek. Have a lovely day!

We did not know what to expect and we were blown away by the food and the service. Great but limited Greek wines too and reasonably priced. The carpaccio and the tarama were knock out as were the brussel sprouts.

Loved all the small plates & entres, we didn’t have a main as we felt like mezze/tapas style dinner which ofcourse can be an option with Greek /med cuisine! Some plates were small servings for but exquisitely put together. And they’re meant to be small. We’ll definitely be back and try the coral trout or lamb ! A great new place to dine in Darlinghurst, beautiful fitout & ambince. Not too loud & not too quiet. Breads & taramosalata some of the best I’ve had, octopus small serving but quite nice, Salty cod crumpets just a bit too salty, anchovy toast was absolutely delicious as was the saganaki cheese, the prawns & the Greek salad. Fabulous loved it all!

Opening night and staff very welcoming and offered us ouzo before our table was ready. I’m hoping they have better quality ouzo since that’s the name! Food was great. Decent variety and great taste. Wait staff a little raw but interested!
