About Hazel Kitchen and Bar

Perched beside the Hazelhurst Arts Centre, this leafy hideaway pairs garden-backed calm with serious culinary craft. Diners drop in after strolling gallery exhibitions for ricotta pancakes or settle into the dining room for plates built for the table. Evenings cut out the trip into the city—the sommelier steps in with sharp, unexpected bottle pairings across courses like ocean trout with pippies, charred bread with warm stracciatella, and grilled lamb cutlets.

  • Art Gallery Grounds: Tucked beside Hazelhurst Arts Centre, with dining areas opening straight onto garden lawns and breezy decks.
  • Sommelier Pairings: Staff sommelier tailors wine recommendations tableside across shared seasonal plates.
  • Garden Celebrations: Dedicated event coordinators oversee milestone celebrations and weddings across indoor rooms and manicured outdoor lawns.

    Large windows and garden doors connect private dining directly to manicured lawns, allowing adults to converse while children play safely outside.

    Residents enjoy city-caliber culinary execution, premium proteins, and curated wines locally without commuting out of the Sutherland Shire.

    I normally go out to the city because there’s nothing comparative in the shire .. until Hazel

  • Integrated Art Gallery & Grounds Visits

    Dining seamlessly pairs with adjacent Hazelhurst Arts Centre exhibitions and gallery walks for daytime lunches and family outings.

    There was a cultural event going on with the gallery at the time, so we got to enjoy that with our visit. The gallery is very nice, and perfect to walk around with little ones.

  • Exhibition Dining and Day Visits

    Pre-exhibition lunches and post-walk brunches offer varied menus and cocktails right next to the gallery spaces.

    Had a light lunch here with a friend before viewing the ArtExpress exhibition. It was a Friday so we booked a table but it wasn't full.
