$$$$•Modern Australian•4.8(85)Sixpenny was founded in March 2012 and is named after the Sixpence restaurants that operated in Australia in the late 1800s. Located at the top end of Stanmore Village, Sixpenny is housed in a historic building on Percival Road, which was erected in 1907.
Chefs Daniel Puskas and Tony Schifilliti lead the kitchen in utilising local suppliers, growers and producers to focus on creating a narrative around all things that make up Australia.
We have chosen to offer a tasting menu to all guests. We collaborate with small-scale farmers, fishermen, and producers to create a progressional offering influenced by the seasons.
Rasa House
$$$$•Asian•4.8(25)Rasā House is a neighbourhood restaurant in Rose Bay. We describe our food as ‘borderless Asian’ - a seasonal, charcoal-led menu that takes inspiration from across South East Asia without being bound by tradition.
Our alfresco dining area overlooks the water and is particularly popular during summer, so we recommend booking ahead to secure a spot.
Our carefully curated wine list features 50 wines, with a focus on interesting drops from Australia, New Zealand, France and Italy.
