Pony’s executive chef and team are the masters of the wood fire grill, producing contemporary and modern Australian dishes of the season’s freshest produce since its opening in 2006.

In an open kitchen where Exec Chef Neil Nolan enjoys a chat with our guests, the Argentinian grill fuelled by iron bark takes dominance with the menu created around this masterpiece.

Pony is located in Sydney’s oldest cobblestone laneway within the historic and bustling dining precinct of The Rocks offering inside and outside seating. Our carefully crafted boutique selection of wines and delicious cocktail list complements our a la carte and group menus.

    We ordered the Kangaroo Skewers, Yellowfin Tuna and a Tomahawk steak, along with broccolini and pumpkin as sides to share. Every dish was excellent. It exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend visiting for an incredible meal. We plan on going again.

    We were seated outside on a long table. I felt that people seated next to us were far too close. Almost no personal space between us. We felt like we had to speak to them although we were trying to have a night out alone. I understand the more the people the more the profit but even though the food and service was great I would probably not come back due to the sardine feel :(

    We had a fabulous evening at Pony. Our host, Kevin, provided outstanding service. The atmosphere was buzzing even though it was a Monday night. The food was next level and the wine list was great. Pony is our new Rocks fave.
