About Le Foote

Behind an old pub facade in The Rocks sits a multi-room Mediterranean grill bar filled with candlelit dining nooks and an open alfresco patio. Tables fill with duck sausage, charred octopus, and the signature cheese pie drizzled with honey, alongside bistro staples like steak tartare and spatchcock. The wine list leans deep into regional pairings, while the kitchen stays lively late enough to catch post-show plates after curtain calls at the Sydney Opera House. Evenings taper off over chilled glasses of limoncello and chocolate parfait.

  • Labyrinthine Dining Rooms: Historic sandstone turns into candlelit rooms, tucked-away corners, and an open outdoor patio behind the streetfront pub facade.
  • Mediterranean Grill Staples: Tables often double up on the house cheese pie with honey, grilled octopus, and rich duck sausage.
  • Pre- and Post-Theater Seatings: Positioned a short stroll from the Sydney Opera House, accommodating dinner and drinks before or after evening performances.
