About Beast&Co

Central European comfort gets a sharp French twist at this low-lit Surry Hills dining room. Run by a husband-and-wife team, dinner moves quickly from crisp pork croquettes and rich bone marrow to dry-aged duck or flank steak dripping in Café de Paris butter. Regulars pair the hearty plates with Czech Pilsner on tap, before wrapping up over warm plum-jam doughnuts and glasses of Becherovka.

  • Central European Flavours: Czech-inspired mains, rich bone marrow, and airy doughnuts with spiced plum jam meet cold Pilsner Urquell on tap and herbal Becherovka.
  • Hands-On Hosting: Co-owner Petra orchestrates a warm, attentive floor while her partner helms the kitchen.

  • Authentic Regional Spirits & Specialties

    Specialty European offerings extend beyond traditional bistros with authentic Czech spirits like Becherovka and regional favorites.

    Their Dry-aged Duck (pan-fried breast, confit leg, red cabbage, jus) and Flank Steak (cafe de paris butter, confit garlic, red wine jus) were indulgent.

    The bone marrow was indulgent in the best possible way – rich and buttery with parmesan, parsley and grilled bread to soak everything up.
