About The Eate Restaurant

An unpretentious Dulwich Hill staple serving generous Mediterranean plates, house-pressed wagyu burgers, and seafood platters. Inner West regulars lean into the overstuffed calamari yiros, tender slow-cooked lamb shoulder, and Turkish eggs with smooth coffee out on the dog-friendly patio. Kitchen pans move fast, turning out crispy fried chicken and chunky chips from a dedicated gluten-free fryer alongside fresh calamari and chilled wine.

  • Dedicated Gluten-Free Fryer: Maintains a separate deep fryer so celiac diners can safely tuck into crispy fried chicken, chips, and gluten-free plates.
  • Dog-Friendly Outdoor Dining: Outdoor patio tables welcome pets, making it an easy drop-in for breakfast, shakshuka, or cold mocktails after neighborhood walks.
  • Private Venue Hire: Supports full dining room buyouts with custom set menus, attentive floor service, and space for live performers.
