Saint George Dining

Saint George is a contemporary dining spot offering bistro style cuisine with modern flavours and the menu changes seasonally to ensure they’re using the best of what Sydney has to offer. This relaxed space offers all day dining with brunch options by day and an evening menu too. We’ve attempted to visit by day but found the staff uninviting but the service was excellent and more accommodating by night. The menu comes from hatted and Michelin star credited Chef James Metcalfe, the menu featuring seafood and protein based dishes as well as vegetarian offerings. We took advantage of a first table 50% off offer, and visited with friends, which meant we ordered quite a number of dishes to get a good sample of the menu. Beginning with the Leek and Parmesan croquettes, a crispy outer shell and tasty filling, as well as the well seasoned beef tartare and the smoked egg emulsion, which offered a creative spin on this dish. A highlight was the chicken liver parfait which had a nice flavour enhanced by the Pedro Ximenez and served with toast. Simple but quality ingredients. The salad of golden beets was a pretty dish, with the creamy burrata topped with pickled peach and shiso and pine nut dressing. The cured kingfish with mango and miso emulsion, green papaya, and Asian herbs was refreshing but could have done with some citrus. The pan fried potato gnocchi looked beautiful, with house whipped ricotta, pea purée, radish, and chervil butter and was a good vegetarian option. It was lovely but the flavours needed a bit more punch. For the main, we shared the 12 hour Milly Hill Lamb Shoulder, which was nice and tender since the 12 hours enhances the flavours of the lamb, accompanied by fried zucchini flowers, capers and lemon dressing. All in all it was a good dining experience, the food is good, the space is comfortable and the service attentive.

My friend and I went this restaurant for lunch and we both loved the food! Generous portions! However, I wish there were more vegetarian options as there is only one main for vegetarian which is the pasta I had. All Staff are lovely and attentive. The location is perfect as it’s just next to Central station! I will come back to try breakfast next time :)

Great bar/restaurant/cafe found on George St, Ultimo. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Really good food, quality ingredients, treated with respect and cooked to perfection. A smallish but interesting wine list, classic cocktails and a few house specials. Desserts were good but didn’t match the quality of the entrees and mains courses. Reasonably priced and a good atmosphere watching the world rush by along George st!

Had been wanting to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint. Perfect lighting and ambience for a restaurant, and staff were incredible. Lucas made our night with his attentiveness and smile. Happy hour til 7pm with a great selection of good quality Prosecco and wines. We had oysters to start and they were so fresh they just melted in your mouth. The mains were pretty good. We chose the caramelised chicken and flank steak. I'd never had flank steak and it was bit overcooked and tough for me. The sauces and accoutrements it was served it were lovely though. You could tell the kitchen took pride in each dish.

Great place to have a quick bite or a drink or 2. I have to agree with another reviewer, the parfait was 👌🏼👌🏼. Easily accessible & have individual tables or share tables with stools. Service was a bit touch & go & the waiter kept on topping up our waters with still water when we had sparkling, so they had to keep replacing it, hence the 4 stars. Apart from that, this place seems promising.
