About Woodcut

Waterfront dining along Barangaroo Ave pairs elemental fire with sweeping harbour views. Guests take in passing ferries over Miche boule and cultured butter before settling into prime counter seats. Front-row perches put you right before the embers, watching chefs work across four distinct stations dedicated to wood, charcoal, steam, and ice. The kitchen turns out wood-grilled Wagyu rib-eye, Moreton Bay bug rolls, and whole John Dory sizzled in cast iron over open flame, flanked by crisp Hasselback potatoes. Dinner winds down with toasted bread soft serve drizzled in truffle and honey.

  • Elemental open kitchens: Counter stools and chef's stations face four elemental open kitchens dedicated to wood, charcoal, steam, and ice.
  • Harbourfront setting: Open-air dining overlooking passing boats and ferries along the Barangaroo waterfront.
  • Milestone hospitality: Attentive, composed floor service reliably guides milestone anniversaries and large family celebrations without feeling rushed.
