My niece and I ate here on my last night of a two week trip to Australia. The meal was exceptional. The first course was termed snacks, and consisted of an oxtail skewer, a mini-crab tart, a slab of country bread, and a couple of pickle slices. We added two optional items to that: a grilled scallop with Nori butter and a Moreton Bay Bug. The two optional items were excellent. I enjoyed the other items as well but wished the oxtail skewer was served hotter. The next course was a sashimi-like preparation of tuna and scallop, served in a tomato water and accompanies by a thin thin flatbread and a horseradish sauce. At this point, we were happy, but when the next course came we crossed from happy into blown away. The main course was lamp rump crusted with a dill and tarragon mix, and served with Hasselback potatoes in a Comte cheese sauce. The lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful. The potatoes were CRAZY good. The photo that looks like croissants were the potatoes - maybe the best potatoes I've ever had. There was also a small tasty salad. At this point, we were getting full, but there was no way we were leaving a morsel of that main course behind. After the main course came a double dessert. One item was creme brulee, served with a fresh blackberry sauce. The other item was termed a petit four but was shaped more like a mini-muffin. It was a hazelnut based pastry served with a cream made of white chocolate and maybe ricotta or mascarpone. Whatever you want to call it, that petit four was unreal. It was SO good that neither of us left a crumb behind, and both of us concluded that we could eat one every day for the rest of our lives. From the name and the information I had about the menu from Instagram and other sources, I expected a very formal "white-table-cloth" atmosphere. Instead, the restaurant itself was small and casual, with half the dinner service provided on small outdoor tables on the sidewalk. That's not a complaint, just not what I expected. All in all, the meal was outstanding. A wonderful way to end a vacation. read more

If you're not familiar with the area (like me), look for the storefront named Ken's, and Farmhouse Kings Cross is next door with a tiny little sign. With a prix fixe menu (AUD 85), all you have to decide is whether to eat here or not and whether to pair it with wine (AUD 70). If you choose the wine pairing, you will find that the pairing was thoughtful and generous. Here's what we ate and drank: Country Loaf with House Butter/Pickles/Snacks (fried tapioca and salmon with nori rice cracker) Cremant de Loire Farmhouse Terrine aux Fruits de Mer Manoella Duoro Branco Aylesbury Duck Breast & Confit Leg served with potatoes and leeks Pinot Noir Baba au Rhum + Orange & Yuzu gelatin Armagnac + fresh white grape juice Surprising me the most was the terrine aux fruits de mer because of the delicate texture and taste. While the baba au rhum was prepared well, I was more interested in the gelatin. Dining outside proved to be quite noisy with the ambulance, horn honking, and a motorcycle engine revving several times. For next time, I would choose indoors. read more

Farm to table menu that changes daily, my partner said this was the best meal he had in Sydney! We really enjoyed the tasting menu with the freshly baked bread, small bites, and super fresh seafood. We dined outdoors and the weather was perfect. Since they only have a few tables, the ambiance was very romantic and the pacing of each item was just right. Shoutout to Mike who was able to reschedule us after our arrival flight was cancelled (and we scrambled to find a new one departing many hours later!). 10/10 would recommend! read more

first, we booked an outdoor seat a month ago. But they contacted us the day we made the reservation and told us that only indoor seats were available. I'm already offended here. We've been to fine dining and fancy restaurants all over the world, but we've never experienced anything like this before. Can't you let me know in advance? I think our reservation has been delayed due to the local people's reservation. Second, I asked for food without knowing that my order was received, but he took it very badly. I accept it's a difference in culture, but if you don't like it, the attitude of "Get out" causes discomfort. A kinder and more relaxed attitude would have impressed me. Third, the food was fine, but despite being accompanied by children, the restaurant served alcoholic desserts without prior notice. This is the worst service ever. Kids had to pay the same amount of course as adults, but I hope there is careful consideration for the part that contains alcohol. I believe it will be a much higher and better restaurant if it is operated with a more careful consideration and warm attitude. read more

Love this place!! Food was excellent as was the service. The menu changes daily. We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful evening.

A wonderful dining experience in Sydney. Very small,quaint space with a four course set menu. The food was amazing. The courses served had an interesting variety of items and flavors. The main course that night was sliced pork with a great salad and potato dish. The service was the best I have experienced in Sydney. read more

Prior to touching down in Sydney, I had only heard great things about Farmhouse and couldn't wait to finally give it a try. I made my booking about a month in advance and Mike's communication was great. You should know that the advanced booking will have you leave your credit card info since seating is limited (huge emphasis on this). I originally made plans to dine the day I landed in Sydney, but my friends had well planned something ahead of time. I had to reschedule and Mike was kind enough to find someone to fill my seats or else I would've been charged the full $55/person, even for a no-show. I finally came on my rescheduled date and I was really surprised at how small and tight seating is, but very intimate. My friend was stoked to come since she's been here a handful of times and has enjoyed each visit. They weren't kidding when they said space is limited--it is almost like a hole-in-the-wall with difficult seating accessibility (hard to get up if you sit by the wall, so try to hold it in or go beforehand). I can't recall having a prix fixe farm-to-table experience, but this was an enjoyable one. At first, I was a little put off that the main courses were shared, but by the end of the meal, I was so glad they were. We started with the Cheddar Spread with Chips & French Onion Dip. The dip was absolutely delicious and even after the chips were long gone, I couldn't stop eating the dip! The roast chicken meal was also great and felt like a Thanksgiving meal in the summer. The Cranberry & Sour Cream dip was incredible. I have to say that the Ginger/Lemon Myrtle Granita with Pear & Macadamia really took me by surprise. I never expected to have ice for dessert but it was a lovely treat and the spices were really on point with the fresh mint. I liked this much better than the prune tart, which was also good. Overall, this was a great experience. A little steep on the price, especially for shared plates, but it's a small business that provides the intimate experience you've always wanted. Staff was so warm and took the time to explain each dish to us, as was the mastermind behind the restaurant, Mike, whom I finally got the pleasure to meet and was so accommodating! read more

Goodness, I think for the first time I'm struggling to translate my thoughts and feelings about this place into words. Mike Mu Sung and Tristan Rosier, well done lads, well done. Imagine if you will, an intimate dinner for 20, in a simple "country house dining room" fit out with freshly baked flat bread and a couple of very impressive cakes to really set the tone. Farmhouse have 2 sittings during the week, a 6:30pm and an 8:30pm slot and even though it's only a 2 hr sitting, it feels well beyond 4 - they have some crazy juju powers over us. I love that the boys are also the chefs and deliver the food themselves so they can spend a couple minutes with us all - and boy what friendly folk they are. Easily the highlight dish of the night was the roasted chicken with pearl barley, carrot and the side dish of green beans - thats not to take away from an incredible dessert, a honeycomb, yoghurt, nashi pear and lavender dish - FLAWLESS !!! Can't wait to get back there. read more

I guess all the hype from yelp reviews and the ranking of being the best restaurant in Sydney kind of built up expectations that I felt were overhyped. It was very hard to find the restaurant than it was family style nothing wrong with that. The best way to describe the experience was one word unique which could be a bad thing or great thing. Now the food was good but not spectacular. I think we started our courses after one group and left before everyone else. The salad was unique and tasty and the beef was tender but I honestly can't remember anything else about the dishes except the dessert. Now would I Run back here? No. Would i dissuade someone from trying this spot? Absolutely not. I think we should all try different restaurants but this one wasn't for me. Try this establishment for yourself and make your own decision read more

What a gem my boyfriend and I found on our trip to Sydney. Tiny little restaurant with BIG flavors and lovely ambience. The food was wonderful but when the lightning, music, decor and staff are all just as lovely it's hard to find anything wrong. I personally love a tasting menu as I'm pretty adventurous but I definitely don't recommend taking a "modifier" or picky eater. I enjoyed both the red wines I tried but their "by the glass" selection is quite small. I hope this place will be around the next time we make it to Sydney! read more

Went here my last night in Sydney and was blown away. From start to finish my friend and I were wowed and for $60 it's an absolute steal. The menu changes every two weeks, which makes every experience at this 20 seat restaurant unique. Everything from the crab with apple corn and lime that kicked off our meal to the roasted chicken with all the sides you could dream on were to die for. Come hungry or be prepared to take some of your meal home. Will definitely be back the next time I'm on this side of the world read more

I am so grateful to have found the perfect venue to hold my 30th Birthday. I felt so much love and warmth in this tiny gem called Farmhouse, I couldn't have asked for more. I would like to thank Mike and Tristan for such a beautiful and special night. I highly recommend Farmhouse for anyone looking to have an intimate dining experience. I hope this post encourages you to try for yourself and explore what Farmhouse is about. The Chefs: Mike Mu Sung (formerly of Sixpenny) and Tristan Rosier (formerly of Biota Dining) Vibe: An intimate, rustic, cosy one room restaurant-barnhouse, with one long communal dining table. The staff are so friendly and attentive wanting to personally make sure you're enjoying yourself, you feel like you are dining at a friend's place where the food is passionately prepared and presented with love. You almost want to ask them to leave the kitchen and come sit down to eat. It's that type of place. Will impress: Everyone! Date night, catch up with the girls, dinner with long lost relatives - It's a very humbling experience. Great company, fresh and delicious food, a glass of wine or a bottle. Good times! The experience is like a good book, one you will pass onto a friend you invited, who in turn, will pass it to one of their friends. That's how I discovered this hidden gem - Thank you Nathan Soulsby for your recommendation! Spend: $$ - $55 set price for 5 courses , two of those are desserts. Dress code: Understated and effortless chic . Except if it's your 30th, then go nuts! ;) Food: It's a communal-style feast. The menu is seasonal , so its constantly changing. They often put the current menu on Facebook with applicable dates. The food is phenomenal and there is a LOT of it! To start, we had a grazing platter of pickled vegetables, seeded watermelon, prosciutto, tarragon butter (The butter is amazing!!) and Tristan's baguette. Followed by roasted king brown mushrooms, barley and artichokes, lamb shoulder served with Tuscan cabbage and sides of yogurt and spicy potatoes. We were then served tangy poached rhubarb, with a sweet meringue and grapefruit granita - the perfect combo! And of course, a birthday cake - Carrot & Raisin cake by Mike, which I will be picking up this week. My guests were so full we decided to save it so I can extend my birthday for another week ;) Watch this space for editing !! The cake is served at every sitting whether it's your birthday or not. Final Note: There are two seatings a night 6.30 and 8.30. If you have between 20-24 guests you can hire out the venue otherwise you can make new friends at the communal table. Also If you have any dietary requirement, whether you are vegan, gluten free, no soft cheese, lactose-intolerant ... they can cater accordingly, still providing you with a substantial meal.

Had an amazing meal at Farmhouse early in January for the last night of the restaurant's Australian Christmas menu. Amazingly you can find the owner and head chef Mike's (personal?) phone number on the restaurant's website (0448 413 791), where eager diners are instructed to text or call to inquire about reservations. As the restaurant is essentially one long communal table, you really need to book weeks or months in advance or be ready to gamble with the possibility of cancellations. Fortunately for me, I was able to take advantage of the latter! (Though note that I think this is pretty rare, since credit cards are required to hold your booking and the cost of the meal you would have eaten gets charged even if you don't show up) For those of you (like me) that haven't previously enjoyed an Australian Christmas meal, it's actually kind of a lot like United States Thanksgiving. Roast chicken (instead of turkey), with a ton of lovely sides and fixings: cranberry relish, sour cream (which I think we should try to get inducted into US Thanksgiving), couscous, and roasted vegetables. The other reviewers have already nailed down the other wonderful elements of this intimate dining establishment: a seasonal and well-prepared five course meal served for $55AUD. Wine and beer is separate and sold by the glass (range was about $8-20AUD). The restaurant does two dinner seatings most nights, but just one (the early seating) on Sundays. Even if you have just a handful of meals in Sydney (or in the country at large) I'd certainly recommend you make this one of them! read more

What a delight! What great food and terrific service. Farmhouse, I believe gives us a taste of modern dining. Giving you a carefully controlled menu and eating space that allows its amazing food to be the true hero. We were blown away by the quality of the dishes and the wine list was exceptional. All capped off by such great service that is not only warm and helpful but expert. Go ahead and make a reservation - get in and enjoy the experience. Don't rush off linger for another glass of a second piece of their daily cake :) read more

Easily the best dining experience in Sydney. Farmhouse creates an intimate and unique dining experience where the food and people are fantastic and you feel like you're dining in a family member's home. We made a reservation for a Saturday night a month in advance based on reviews. Demand for a seat is high: we were able to snag two seats at the outdoor window but not at the table. Didn't matter though. It was a mild evening and the heaters and blankets at the window made us comfortable. It was enjoyable to sit looking into the dining room where we could watch everything happening. The restaurant has two seating times and the meal is a prix fixe 5 courses. The courses come out one at a time and the pacing is perfect. Expect to be at Farmhouse for just under 2 hours from start to finish. You'll want to stay longer and chat with the chefs all night though. Now, for the food. It's stunning and genius and creative and just so so perfect. I love that they change their menu weekly and aren't afraid to take risks with their food. I also love that they accommodated my husband who has a shellfish allergy. I absolutely loved the lamb chimichurri dish they served when we were there. Did I mention how much I loved dining here? The price of the meal is also incredible. They use top quality ingredients and make superb food but the 5 course meal is only $55! I would happily pay more for the opportunity to eat their food and chat with them again. A must-do in Sydney. read more

The Farmhouse did not disappoint! It was a bit difficult to find and our Uber driver gave up and dropped us close but we realized once we showed up why - it's tiny! We had 'window seats' with our backs to the road looking into the restaurant which was very cool. The set menu was varied and everything was good. We started with pickled veggies, fried okra, bread and hummus - all good but nothing outstanding. However the 2nd course - spicy prawn over pureed daikon - was outstanding! So very good, I had to stop short of licking my bowl. Next up we had the main entree and there was so much to choose from! Roasted pork with fried pork skins, corn salsa, potato salad, roasted carrots, and grilled pineapple in a pistachio crust that was to die for. Next up was a coconut lychee ice cream - again, excellent. Last up was a play on pecan pie with stone fruit - delicious but I could barely take a bite I was so full. Service was great and attentive and the chef introduced the entree dish to us and talked a little bit about his inspiration for the menu. This will sound strange but my only complaint is that it's waaay too much food! At most foodie, multi-course restaurants I'm used to much smaller portions so you can taste everything without feeling stuffed. While I realize it's a matter of willpower I'd rather not have to exert it - everything was so good I couldn't help myself but overindulge! Definitely a special occasion, save your calories kind of restaurant. The only other caveat is that it's expensive and requires a credit card to reserve, and you must reserve because it's very small. Fourteen to sixteen seats max? All in all a superb experience in King's Cross! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g255060-d4791952-r462833759-Farmhouse_Kings_Cross-Sydney_New_South_Wales.html# read more

Had the pleasure of dining at Farmhouse Kings Cross in Sydney on Sunday night (6:30 pm seating) and it was the best meal that my husband and I ate the entire time we were there! A 5-course, organic farm-to-table dinner for $55 a person? Unreal! The entree (appetizer) was a mix of freshly baked breads with cheese and we ate the entire plate in under 60 seconds. We were served the pork dinner and were a little bit nervous since pork is not our favorite. It was honestly one of the best things I ever ate. My favorite part was the side of tahini dressing with nuts that accompanied the meat. The veggies were perfect and mashed potatoes were amazing. And just when you think you can't eat another bite, you manage to eat not 1, but TWO dessert plates! That is my kind of meal! The staff is so friendly, and Mike who takes care of the bookings is also the chef...a real small business operation that I'm hopeful will continue to be supported by the Sydney locals and tourists alike! I will for sure make reservations each time I'm back in Sydney to eat here again! My only tip is to call/text as early as possible to get a booking. It is worth using Skype credits to make a reservation if you're calling from overseas, I promise! read more

Had an amazing dinner with my girlfriends (4 of us) on Thursday night the 8:30pm seating. I walked in with a very high expectation because I read so many good reviews and my friend told me how great the food was! It definitely exceeded my expectation.

Absolutely fantastic, the second time around! We took our sons to Farmhouse after a great experience at this fantastic restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food is absolutely amazing. We have very specific meal requirements for every member in the family and they created special dishes to cater to each and every diet requirement (gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian) without compromising the quality of the food...and service! Portions are huge and you are so well fed, even though it is a set menu. Great value for money. We will be back. They made us feel so special and even brought out a dairy free, gluten free chocolate brownie for our son's birthday, which was about the best we have had. Thank you to Andy, Mike and the gorgeous waitress who made our experience amazing. read more

Just because we walked to get here and it was closed, but the YELP App said it was open. My wife wanted a 1 review...

We took a group of 6 here and everyone in the group loved it. It is a very interesting concept. As others have stated, they do 2 different seatings each night and can only handle around 20 people. It really is one of the best uses of a small space that I have ever seen. There is no need to go into a description of all of the great and wonderful foods served in our 5 course meal because they change the menu regularly. It is a set menu although they did accommodate my special request. I would also like to mention two other things. 1) get your reservations early!!! Since they are so small getting a seat can be difficult. 2) It is not the easiest place in the world to find. Our cab driver had never heard of the restaurant and just took us to the physical address. Even once we were there, there is not a sign above the restaurant. read more

My husband and I had the first of what I know will be many amazing meals here in Australia. Our first dinner was at http://farmhousekingscross.com.au/ in Sydney. The intimate interior space is essentially comprised of one long communal table; and no surprise, you feel like you are in a country farmhouse. The kitchen is one of the smallest that I've every seen, but it doesn't keep the team from creating a well conceived and well executed meal with generous portions. Each course on the prix fixe menu, like the amazing plum tart simply showcases the use of fresh ingredients; natural flavors are enhanced with the generous use of fresh herbs. I let them know that my husband follows a pescatarian diet and they prepared a parallel menu of courses taking great care to respect his dietary request, e.g., fish instead of chicken, olive oil instead of milk. Chef Mike and the team get a A++ for preparing an amazing meal! Definitely an amazing find! read more
