Absolutely loved my food (briskets) Friendly staff Try the briskets with the truffle mash it's so good ! We sat on the terrace outside great relaxing atmosphere under the shade. Great hamburgers also ! The pattie tastes amazing ! read more

The Butcher & Farmer looks gorgeous and I like their philosophy, but I've eaten dinner & breakfast here and both times were underwhelming. We had dinner on a Saturday night when the atmosphere was electric. We sat at the bar & chatted to the friendly staff. But after waiting 45 minutes for our mains we were absolutely starving. I ordered a steak & my fiancé had the pork spit roast. The steak was tasty but tough. It was served with tomatoes which lacked that burst of flavour that you expect from a restaurant that prides itself on produce. The spit roast had some amazing cracklings but lacked presentation. We had a side of potatoes & a garden salad that were fine. The next day I returned to tram sheds with a friend who was enticed to eat at The Butcher and Farmer by the outdoor seating. I was happy to try again for brunch hoping the previous experience was a one-off glitch. After placing our order the waiter returned after a 10 minute wait to say they had run out of porridge. With no replacement such as muesli, I stuck to my coffee, which didn't really make the grade. My friend ordered avocado, tomato and feta on toast. I'm not sure how this can take over 30 minutes to make, but again we had a long wait for food and the produce was underwhelming. The staff were apologetic & didn't charge for the coffee, but it doesn't change the fact that the meals and wait times are sub-standard and the above average prices aren't reflect in the experience. Fortunately Tram Sheds isn't short options so do go here, but perhaps try somewhere else. read more

We came here for breakfast this morning, staff were lovely with a hostess. Haven't had one of them since we were last in the US. Coffee was good and the breakfast itself was lovely with some fresh produce. I had a gravlax, poached eggs and sourdough with a radish salad which was reasonably light. They've got a good range of seating both inside and out at the Tramsheds complex and it's not an unpleasant outlook if you are sitting looking out into the parking lot. read more

Great tastes and great service. When we made the booking of 20 people we were advised if we decided to do the ala carte option that there could be delays with getting all the food out together. We normally expect this and understood it. but there were no delays at all. All food was brought out together and it all seemed to go so smoothly. The wait staff were attentive and pleasant. and the food...oh my the food. Everything seemed very very nice. The food is simple but perfectly cooked. Sizes are slightly a little small for me but we all ordered enough sides to fill our plates and walk away very happy. The tramsheds has some amazing food option and it is very very much worth a visit but I will definately be back to sample Butcher and the Farmer again. read more

My fiance and I both had the steak and eggs breakfast. The meat was so delicious and the eggs were prepared perfectly. We are visiting from the United States. All the waiters were incredibly friendly. I ordered 2 flat white coffees and they were both divine. read more

A contemporary, large, modern space housing one of the historic tram carriages, The Butcher & Farmer was the perfect place for a casual weekday lunch for 20 people. It offers a $25 lunch special from a selected menu which includes a glass of house wine or soda which is fantastic value. The 8 hour braised then smoked brisket was sliced thickly and sandwiched in a brioche bun with slaw & is super tender and absolutely delicious. The accompanying fries were golden, crunchy & perfect. The charcuterie board was a winner also with a chunk of brie, pickles, sausisson sec & porchetta. The only minor complaint was for a bit more bread. Fish & chips was a generous portion & super golden & crunchy & steak was cooked as ordered. Friendly & attentive service made this a relaxing and pleasent lunch. read more

Have driven by a few times and decided to drop into Glebe Tramsheds for late brekky. All the shops are new and appeals with an industrial feel. Took a quick lap before deciding on Butcher & the Farmer. Waitress was friendly and took our coffee orders. Flat white and a long black on ice. Then we ordered meals from a man (manager/owner) who did not look like he wanted to be there. In fact it looked as though he was stressing out the rest of the staff. Anyway, big breakfast for me, with bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, potato, poached eggs on rye. All good. My wife wanted the same and asked what was gluten free and he said half would have to be excluded. Fair enough, what can they be replaced with? Bacon, mushroom, spinach? The answer... Nothing! They will remove items but will not change items on the menu. So pay full price for half a meal. I would understand if they were busy and could not arrange it but we were one of four tables at the time with three others wait staff walking around. So following his recommendation, ordered individual items. A piece of thick bacon, two eggs and mushrooms - $20. I know it's not a lot but still felt they did not care. Certainly did not feel welcomed. My standard breakfast and coffee was good! I would eat here again but may be avoid the grumpy dude. read more

So, this place has just opened. Maybe our experience has to do with it being new, but it was bad enough that we won't be giving them another go. It took a long time to be seated and a long time to be served, but our orders were wrong, substitutions made without any notice, the food itself was average at best, and most of my husband's butcher's breakfast was so undercooked he couldn't eat it. The space it's in is beautiful, and it has a nice vibe, but we really didn't enjoy the experience. It certainly wasn't worth the wait or the prices. Much better off heading to Newtown. read more

I went to the Butcher and the Farmer for breakfast this morning, the restaurant was very inviting with big open spaces and lovely table settings. The staff were friendly, many of them being new were slightly unsure of the workings of the business however it was clear they were in training and were getting assistance from their supervisors throughout. The menu sounded delicious upon reading however slightly disappointing when the food arrived to the table. The farmers breakfast had excellent ingredients but they were used very sparingly, the porridge sounded magical, with an array of fruits and honey on top, however came with plenty of the porridge but sparingly with the fruit. To top it off we had to ask twice about our second round of coffee which we waited for so long that we had completed our meals and the tables were cleared before they arrived. From other reviews and looking at the menu I would try it again for dinner, however believe there are better places at the Tram Shed's for breakfast. read more
