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. This year, Pony proudly celebrates 20 years of unforgettable dining, marking two decades of exceptional food, warm hospitality and memorable experiences in the heart of Sydney.
From premium woodfired steaks to bold Australian-inspired dishes, the menu at Pony Dining is packed with flavour, flair and fire. Signature starters like yellowfin tuna crudo with orange and enoki mushrooms, or the smoky kangaroo skewers with peppercorn sauce, showcase the kitchen's finesse. But the real showstoppers are the premium cuts cooked over the woodfire grill, including the 450g grass-fed rib eye served with red wine jus. To celebrate Pony's 20th anniversary, the much-loved 800g rib eye has also returned to the menu for a limited time. Expect dishes that are smoked, charred and seared to perfection, with seasonal updates highlighting Australia's finest produce.
More than just a steakhouse, Pony is also one of Sydney's favourite destinations for expertly crafted cocktails. The bar is stocked with craft beer, a carefully curated wine list and standout cocktails. Favourites include the Grand Old Fashioned, made with Ron Zacapa XO, bitters, sugar and an orange twist, alongside the ever-popular Jalapeño Margarita, featuring woodfire-grilled jalapeño-infused tequila. 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 atmosphere, Pony Dining continues to be a must-visit destination for food lovers looking to experience one of Sydney's most iconic dining experiences.
