Fox and Hounds | Sydney's Northern Culinary Oasis

📍 Location & Vibe Nestled in Wahroonga's leafy streets (18-24 Ingram Rd), this rustic-chic eatery feels like stumbling upon a British countryside pub - complete with exposed brick walls and a crackling fireplace in winter. The outdoor patio, draped in fairy lights, transforms into a magical dining space during summer evenings. 🌟 Why the 4.8 Rating? • Owner-chef Marcus (yes, the charming one) personally sources all meats from NSW highland farms • Wine list features hidden gem Hunter Valley reds at shockingly reasonable markups • That unforgettable house-made sourdough with whipped bone marrow butter 🍽 The Fox Experience 🥩 Steak Perfection Dry-aged for minimum 28 days in their Himalayan salt chamber Cuts range from 200g eye fillet to 1kg tomahawk for sharing Pro tip: Ask for the "Butcher's Cut" - whatever premium cut Marcus is experimenting with that week 🍟 Side Show Revolution Sweet Potato Fries: Dusted with native wattleseed and smoked paprika Garlic Butter Prawns: Using XL Tiger prawns from Clarence River Truffle Mash: Infused with Manjimup black truffles during season 🍷 Liquid Gold • Sommelier-curated "Steak Pairings Flight" (3x 75ml pours of premium Aussie reds) • Their take on the Boulevardier cocktail uses Archie Rose rye whiskey ⏳ Timing Note Yes, service leans leisurely - but that's because everything is cooked to order. Consider it built-in digestion time between courses! 🌿 Northern Sydney's Best-Kept Secret "While most Norwest restaurants phone it in, Fox and Hounds reminds us what passionate hospitality looks like. Wednesday's $29 sirloin special might be Sydney's best steak deal." 📸 Instagram Moments • The dramatic steak trolley presentation • Sunset through the antique leadlight windows • That perfect cross-section shot of medium-rare ribeye #SydneySteakhouse #DateNightSydney #HiddenGemsSydney
