About Five Five Four

Thirty covers in Rose Bay, an open kitchen, and a room humming to live jazz—Five Five Four delivers chef-driven kosher dining stripped of ceremony. Stools at the counter put you right against the pass, watching the team slice citrus crudo and fire chicken piadina. Word among regulars points straight to the beef short rib and warm focaccia pooling with olive oil. Plates skip filler sides to lean into direct heat and sauces, finishing on a dark chocolate mousse that easily defies its pareve brief.

  • Open-Kitchen Counter: Thirty covers wrap around an open kitchen where bar stools offer front-row views of the line in motion.
  • Scratch-Made Kosher Menu: A focused, regularly updated menu centered on dishes cooked from scratch, from charred chicken piadina to slow-cooked short rib.
  • Live Jazz & Cocktails: Creative cocktails and live jazz soundtrack an intimate, buzzing neighborhood dining room.
