About Jane Surry Hills

Locals head to this Bourke Street address for unpretentious Modern Australian dining built around native ingredients. The dining room balances 70s retro paneling with low-lit speakeasy warmth, keeping ambient noise down so conversation flows across the retro booths. In the kitchen, indigenous elements lead the charge—think habanero-spiced kangaroo tartare scooped with potato crisps, tender duck breast, and rockmelon sorbet capped with green ants. The bar keeps pace with an all-domestic cellar, pouring exclusively Australian wines, native botanicals, and small-batch spirits alongside house cocktails like the Jane Martini. Whether settling in solo at the counter or sharing the set menu, the floor team marks out dietary needs and paces courses without rushing you out the door.
