The Commons Local Eating House indulges Sydney locals with seasonally influenced, ingredient-focused cuisine. The name THE COMMONS refers to the shared environmental and cultural resources of a city. We are proud to support Sydney producers wherever we can: our produce is sourced as ethically as possible, with meat coming from trusted suppliers who are committed to good animal husbandry; we make all attempts to find out where our seafood comes from; utilize fresh produce from around Sydney, and support local artisan food makers. The Commons is a celebration of Australia, and food & wine inspired by it: the perfect convivial setting for a meal served family style.
Complimenting the Chef's cuisine that combines local sensibility with European traditions, particularly those of the Italian Regions, is a value driven wine list whose focus is on small production vineyards of the Australian regions and a few cellar picks from the "Old Country", Italy. The building itself is a tribute to Darlinghurst's heritage architecture with its sandstone walls, original features throughout, convict markings still visible in the basement larder now a intimate cocktail bar 'Downtown': hide away from the busy hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy a good ol' drink and some of the best blues and jazz in town.
