About Annamese

Waterfront breeze, dialed-in Vietnamese plates, and zero white-tablecloth pretense. City regulars steer straight here for a harbourfront nhậu session—grazing through multi-course tasting spreads or settling in for unhurried date nights. The kitchen deals in big savory punches: whole fried snapper crisp under tangy sauce, wok-tossed lemongrass chicken, and black-pepper seared wagyu. At the bar, the pour of choice remains the mango sticky rice cocktail, blending fruit and coconut cream with a boozy twist. Tables routinely round things out with fresh Sydney oysters and flaky roti torn straight into slow-cooked lamb curry.

  • Inventive Cocktails: The signature mango sticky rice cocktail channels the classic street dessert with a boozy, blended twist.
  • Elevated Vietnamese Plates: Standouts span wok-seared Bò Lúc Lắc wagyu, crisp whole snapper in tangy sauce, and slow-cooked lamb curry with flaky roti.
  • Waterfront Taster Menus: Multi-course tasting spreads overlooking the water, just steps away from the Barangaroo ferry wharf.

  • Dessert-Twist Cocktail Program

    The bar pairs high-voltage Vietnamese dishes with inventive signature libations, highlighted by Southeast Asian dessert profiles reimagined as craft drinks.

    The standout for me was definitely the mango sticky rice cocktail — it tasted like a dessert smoothie but with a cocktail twist.

  • Scenic Ferry-Side Waterfront Access

    Positioned directly on the Barangaroo promenade, the venue provides an easy wharf-side arrival by ferry for scenic day-trip dining and open-air harbourfront meals.

    It is a restaurant that is located in a nice area where we can just catch a ferry there and back home.

  • Dedicated Standalone Plant-Based Menus

    Unlike venues that offer only ad-hoc plant modifications, Annamese provides a deliberate, thoughtfully curated standalone selection for vegan and vegetarian diners.

    A dedicated and very decent menu for vegetarians and vegans considering Vietnamese but not sure of their choices.

  • Accessible Vegetarian Dish Pricing

    The kitchen provides high culinary value by deliberately tiering prices on elevated plant-based creations such as salt-and-pepper crispy eggplant and crunchy fresh rolls.

    And to top it off the vegetarian/vegan dishes were a level cheaper than the meat dishes.
