Maydanoz is an Aegean Turkish coast inspired bar/restaurant paying homage to regions vegetarian and olive oil driven casual meze bars. Managed by the team behind Efendy and Anason, Maydanoz is located in the middle of the revitalised Sydney CBD. Food The menu is based on produce driven delights of Aegean region of Turkey, rich in culture and variety of the produce, dairy, fish and lamb.
Most of the dishes are prepared ‘zeytinyagli’ style, olive oil poached vegetables served as part of a drinking feast. Imagine dolmas, sarmas and seasonal vegetables with plenty of fresh herbs of the area.
There is a special attention for natural and local Turkish wines from the coastline stretching from Gallipoli on the north to Denizli on the south. We also pride ourselves having a cocktail menu crafted by our head mixologist with special attention to regions produce, like Zumrut ( Emerald) made with bespoke gin and our namesake parsley as a base.

    The food was fantastic. The restaurant seemed maybe understaffed. It took almost 30 minutes to order a drink. However once served the server was quite good and gave very good recommendations.

    I flew a girl (who is vegetarian) from Melbourne to Sydney for a first date on the weekend.. we were very late dew to a delayed flight (and us just talking for to long) but they let us sneak in! The waitress was understanding but told us we would need to hurry as the kitchen was closing.. Id hardly call how she handled us being rushed! She knew everything about everything on the menu and made it an experience rather then just ringing off what they had.. The food came out quick but wasn't rushed by any means, everything looked beautiful and the taste... I can't tell you how unbelievable everything tasted ... I'm a meat eater but after eating here I could very easily stop knowing food can taste this good... I can't stop thinking about the oyster mushrooms and it's been 3 days!... Oh! And I need to take it off to the bar tender for the cocktails... each sip had me wanting more and wishing the drink never ended! Thank you so much for making an unforgettable first date! It means so much! We are planning to fly her back in two weeks so save us a table for two!

    We had a fantastic experience at the special dinner with guest Chef Coskun Uysal from Tulum restaurant in Melbourne. The food we absolutely delicious and diverse with an original take on some of my favourite Turkish food. The highlight being his famous Tavuk Gogsu dessert which consists of Chicken & Burnt Milk Pudding, Lemon Thyme Ice Cream and Caramel Mousse. It sounds weird but is a standout. My favourite of the night was his take on Su Borek which he used black truffle and age cheese. It was spectacular! The setting was very sophisticated and the staff were very attentive and efficient.

    We enjoyed our first experience here for a family lunch. No obvious issues with noise as we were the only guests. Though we sat outside and traffic was noticeable. We had to move, due to issues with sun. Maydanoz offers an interesting range of menu offerings, though we thought the mains were rather small for the price and very specific to a particular vegetable rather than offering a combination of vegetables within the one dish. The combining of sauces and flavours enhanced the dishes offered. Textures were also varied and interesting. We enjoyed our dining experience.

    The service was brilliant and helpful. Polite, cheerful, engaging but not pushy. Your cocktail menu has been changed - yet it was not updated online - and we had an eye on a particular cocktail that was no longer available and the kind bartender accommodated our request for something as similar to the online menu offer as possible - which was great as it was my partner’s bday and I specifically made the booking for that drink. The food was absolutely outstanding - the flavours, the smell, the way it was served/ presented was beautiful and pleasing. Water served in copper dishes was a nice touch. Thank you for having us - we will definitely be back as you have wonderful selection of vegetarian food and we were unable to try everything on that one evening.

    Food was great and staff were polite and friendly. Would have maybe liked more dishes to come at once rather than paced out with dishes one by one, or have it explained it was going to be that way. The wine list was very interesting and had some delicious wines by the glass that you perhaps wouldn't see elsewhere. Solid 9/10 rating
