    Large parties and milestone events enjoy an infectious room energy where servers and nearby guests join in the celebration.

    When it came time to celebrate, the entire restaurant joined in to sing. We ended up doing five rounds of "Happy Birthday" because the vibe was just that infectious.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, theatre discounts, portions, and celebrations at Li'l Darlin Surry Hills.

  • Belvoir St Theatre Discount & Happy Hour

    Show your Belvoir St Theatre ticket for the night to receive 15% off your bill, and time your visit between 4–6pm to catch cocktail happy hour specials before curtain call.

  • Pizza Portion Sizing

    If ordering food during happy hour or casual drinks, keep in mind that the pizzas lean on the smaller side and flatbreads may be compact, so consider ordering an extra dish or Arancini if dining with an appetite.

  • Dietary Accommodation & Outside Cakes

    The kitchen and service team easily cater to complex dietary restrictions including strict coeliac requirements, and groups can coordinate bringing outside celebratory cakes without fuss.
