Delicious woodfired cuisine, buzzing atmosphere and creative cocktails.
Pony Dining is where the soul of fire meets the heart of heritage. Tucked into a stunning century-old sandstone building at the entrance of historic Kendall Lane in The Rocks, this iconic Sydney restaurant and bar is renowned for cooking everything over an open Argentinian woodfire grill.
From dry-aged steaks to bold Australian-inspired dishes, the menu at Pony Dining is packed with flavour, flair and fire. Signature starters like yellowfin tuna with burnt carrot and crispy rice, or the delicately seasoned kangaroo tartare, showcase the kitchen’s finesse. But the real showstoppers are the woodfired premium cuts, such as the 450g dry-aged ribeye with bone marrow and vegemite glaze. Expect dishes that are smoked, charred, and seared to perfection, with seasonal updates that highlight Australia’s finest produce.
More than just a steakhouse, Pony is also one of Sydney’s best cocktail bars. The bar is stocked with craft beer, a curated wine list and standout cocktails. Favourites include the bold Grand Old Fashioned with aged rum and bitters, and the refreshing pink grapefruit sour made with house-made limoncello. The buzzing communal outdoor table along Kendall Lane is the perfect spot to sip, snack and people-watch under the stars.
Executive Chef Neil Nolan brings passion and precision to every plate, backed by decades of culinary experience from Ireland to Australia. With its warm service, smoky aromas and rustic-chic vibe, Pony Dining is a must-visit for food lovers looking to experience Sydney’s vibrant dining scene.
