No.1 Bent Street by Mike

Mike McEnearney is executive chef and owner of No.1 Bent St. His career began in 1990 in Sydney’s world renowned restaurant, Rockpool. He then worked in Michelin-starred and critically acclaimed restaurants in London before returning to Australia.

In 2011 his restaurant ‘Mike’s Table’ gained cult status and in 2012 ‘Kitchen by Mike’ won best café award in the Time Out Sydney Food Awards. It’s safe to say No.1 Bent St was a highly anticipated restaurant which quickly became established as a favourite on the Sydney dining scene.

The refined yet quirky restaurant has a stripy ceiling and long, bespoke wooden tables. The kitchen island is backed by a large wood-fired oven and one corner is dedicated to fresh, crusty bread and cultured salted butter.

The cuisine is made with Mike’s trademark passion and respect for the process and produce used. Expect dishes created from the ground up; twice cooked goats cheese soufflé with rosemary, spit roast chicken vinaigrette and wood grilled octopus are just some of the dishes on offer. Don’t forget to ask staff for the daily specials, which make creative and unexpected use of the very best ingredients on offer that day.

Complete your experience with one of Mike’s signature wines, or choose from a discerning selection of international sparkling, red and white wines.
