About Kitchen by Mike CBD

Wholesome, canteen-style shared dining meets warm Sydney hospitality right on Bent Street. Mike McEnearney’s tight board of 16 seasonal dishes and four desserts cuts the ordering fuss, letting tables drift into long, unhurried evenings. The kitchen balances plant-forward plates with hearty mains—think braised prawn eggplant with black sesame rice crackers and skillet pulled pork—effortlessly adapting set menus for vegans and omnivores sitting side by side. Regulars know never to skip the opening bread course: massive slabs of warm house-made sourdough, crunchy outside and squidgy within, slathered in cultured butter. You can finish on a retro high note with a torched bombe Alaska.

  • House Sourdough: Generous warm slices with cultured butter kick off the meal straight from the oven.
  • Focused 16-Dish Menu: A tightly curated list of 16 savory dishes and 4 desserts removes choice paralysis.
  • Seamless Dietary Dining: Flexible multi-course sets accommodate plant-based diners and omnivores at the same table.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on portioning, ordering, and dietary options for your visit

  • Pace Yourself Around the Sourdough

    Opt for the house sourdough with cultured butter early, but keep in mind portions are generous enough to act as a substantial appetizer before shared dishes.

  • Seamless Mixed Dietary Accommodations

    Kitchen by Mike easily tailors set menus across mixed tables, including dedicated vegan diners alongside omnivores.

  • Plan for Shared Sizing Across Courses

    Because portions lean toward lighter sharing plates, take advantage of the compact 16-dish menu by ordering several dishes for the table or topping up with extra bread.
