About Bistro Rex Restaurant

Macleay Street’s dining room delivers mood-lit energy and Parisian bistro technique without the stiff white-tablecloth routine. Potts Point regulars head straight for the corner booths on jazz nights—martinis in hand—sharing airy triple cheese soufflés and 900-gram ribeyes cooked to exact cuisson. Outside, heated terrace tables welcome dogs with fresh water bowls, while dessert wraps up with spoons cracking through caramelized sugar on vanilla bean crème brûlée.

  • French Bistro Classics: Kitchen hits include crisp-skinned duck, charred octopus, 900-gram M4 ribeye, and double-baked cheese soufflés.
  • Dog-Friendly Heated Terrace: Heated footpath seating welcomes dogs with water bowls and full-service dining through every season.
  • Live Jazz & Parisian Energy: Moody lighting, high ceilings, and regular live jazz sets lend warmth to date nights and celebrations.
  • Curated Cellar & Cocktails: An expansive French and Australian wine list sits alongside bespoke cocktails and sharp aperitifs.

  • Dirty Four Pillars Martini

    special shout out to the bartender Jae for an amazing dirty Four Pillars martini. Most of the time, when you order a dirty martini, it’s drowning in olive brine, but this one was so perfectly chilled and balanced. Absolutely delicious!
