Bon Vin

Tucked beneath the city’s bustle, Bon Vin is a romantic sandstone cellar where walls of wine cast a gentle glow. Often whispered as Sydney’s best‑kept dining secret, it has earned Best French Restaurant NSW in 2023–2025 and Best French Restaurant Australia in 2024 at the Restaurant and Catering Awards.

The kitchen leans into classic French technique with modern poise. Seared scallops with crisp pancetta and Jerusalem artichoke purée arrive with a whisper of truffle, while hand‑cut steak tartare brings Parisian polish without fuss.

Mains are all about depth and detail, from slow‑cooked beef fillet with Paris mash and red wine jus to lamb three ways, showcasing the kitchen’s craft. Desserts nod to tradition, with a classic crème brûlée that cracks with a fragrant sigh and a chocolate hazelnut torte layered with dark chocolate and milk chocolate mousse for a lingering finale.

For those who love fine French fare, Bon Vin invites guests to reserve a table, descend the stairs, and enjoy a dining experience where some secrets are made to be shared.
