Song Kitchen — Restaurant in Sydney

We love our food and when we hear anything is supporting a good cause in any way, we are interested. Raising money, providing resources for the needy or donating profits, we consider all of this amazing! So when we heard that SONG KITCHEN has a social conscience, offering 100% of their profits to support the YWCA NSW – an organisation that helps women experiencing domestic violence, we were there in a heartbeat.

Located on Elizabeth street, Sydney, it is a hotel restaurant in the city end of Surry Hills. Song Kitchen is somewhere city goers may walk past everyday. Don’t just walk past, head on in. Open for less than a year, Song Kitchen is run head chef, Charlotte Gonzales. She comes with a wealth of experience, having been a chef since the age of 18 having worked in a number of well known restaurants, including a number of Merivale venues.

The menu at Song Kitchen offers fine dining quality at a reasonable price, showcasing fresh food that is European Bistro inspired. There is also an extensive wine and cocktail list. Song Kitchen is also giving back to diners, offering a free wine with dinner as a promotion.

We were in a group and were fortunate enough to sample much of the menu. This included the Rabbit terrine with apricot, pistachio and chargrilled bread as well as the Kingfish ceviche. The charcuterie board, which is always a great share option for a group and had a quality selection of cured meats, house pickles, and chargrilled bread and very enjoyable with a glass of wine. A fresh light option was the tomato and melon salad with prosciutto. Our favourite was the grilled king prawns, perfectly cooked and plenty of flavour provided by long red chilli, garlic, coriander, lime & romesco salsa.

The corn fed chicken breast, super tender, served with potato mash, broccoli and a lemon salsa. A number of our group went for the beautifully cooked grain fed scotch filler (250g), served with a generous amount of nicely seasoned shoestring fries, red wine jus and a side of Bearnaise. If you are in the mood for pasta the waiter recommended the Pince all’Amatriciana tomato sauce.

Despite the fact we were extremely full, a few of us wanted dessert too and shared some classic including; Crepes Suzette, Creme Caramel and profiteroles.

A beautiful menu with so many awesome options! Make a booking, dine with your friends and know you’re helping...

Last chance to get rid of the Australian coin currency (why add that to your bag weight).

Wanted a simple quick meal close to the hotel so can wear T-shirt and shorts. The Song Burger a meal that can be bought for change ($18).

Now I just want to say when I think of a burger I think of something which I can pickup with my two hands and eat it without too much trouble. My first clue that this would not be the case was the provisioning of a knife and fork....

The burger, which took 30 minutes to arrive, was approximately 100mm diameter and 150mm height 🙈. It contained the normal fair: lettuce, caramelised onion, mayo and a 30-40 mm thick beef patty with seasoning.

I admit to squeezing the burger flatter and trying to eat it, but this simply caused the insides to move out, over my hand and onto the plate. Maybe they should sell this as a deconstructed burger?

The beef patty, which was made not brought, needed to be mixed more throughly so that the seasoning was more evenly spread (no season salt clusters needed) and flattened out, so it would cook faster (ordered medium rare) and fit in the burger better.

Overall was not as quick a meal as I would have liked and the cost for the product did not meet...
