About Wilson's Lebanese Restaurant

Sydney’s oldest Lebanese restaurant keeps things grounded with home-style cooking and unpretentious charm. Regulars pack the cosy Redfern dining room for generous multi-course banquets, where smoky baba ganoush, stuffed vine leaves, and peppery eggplant arrive in steady waves alongside warm bread. Bring your own bottle of wine for an easy corkage fee and round out the table with an order of crisp falafel and lady fingers.

  • Budget-Friendly BYO Wine: Guests can bring their own wine to pair with dinner for a nominal $3 corkage fee per person.
  • Multi-Course Shared Feasts: Generous multi-course banquets feature both meat and vegetarian options, from mixed grills to spiced dips.
  • Historic Family-Run Icon: Sydney's original family-run Lebanese dining room continues to serve long-standing recipes in Redfern.
