The Cottage Bar and Kitchen - Balmain

What a lovely place. We came here for my partners birthday party on Sunday afternoon. We were pleasantly surprised with the live music duo. What a talented duo. The ambience was very comfortable. The share plate menu was quirky and interesting and represented great value. <br/ The staff were friendly and efficient and very professional. We will definitely be coming back, and will recommend to all of our friends! Keep up the great work cottage team!! <br/

I visited The Cottage a few weeks ago for late lunch with family, and overall, I was incredibly satisfied with the experience. After walking all the way from Balmain East wharf in the middle of the day (not our smartest decision! , we were seated promptly and opted to share a few meals. Though we were seated close to the kitchen, the rustic decor was enjoyable throughout the restaurant.<br/ <br/ Our meals came out very quickly, and all of them were delicious. The fried spiced chicken was one of the better fried chicken dishes I 've had in my life, being crispy, tender, flavoursome, and not overly oily (as far as fried chicken can go . The two pizzas we shared were also delicious. The jamon serrano on the 'De Jamon ' was soft and salty, and reminiscent of many of the excellent pizzas I 've had in Europe. The 'Hoi Sin Duck ' pizza was very unique (more the sort of flavours you would expect in a salad! , but nonetheless, the combination worked and was extremely tasty.<br/ <br/ Overall, if you 're looking to share a few meals with family and friends, it would be extremely difficult to look past The Cottage!

I really like the ambiance of this place! The array of miscellaneous decorations laid around the cottage really give it a homey and relaxed vibe. The food was also great. Ordered a  few dishes including the winter salad, lamb shanks, scallops and arancini. All were delicious !

Located on Darling Street, The Cottage is set back from the main road and as its name suggests, is a restaurant set inside a cottage. Urban oasis meets country chic.<br/ <br/ There is lovely little courtyard inside; bringing the outdoors in, it's the perfect spot to share a meal with a group of friends. <br/ <br/ The food here is delicious and generous, with shared platters designed to share. A favourite dish is the roast cauliflower with raisins, vinaigrette, baba ghanoush, pistachios and pomegranate.

The Cottage is beautiful little house transformed in a cute restaurant bar. They selection of wine is really good (From AUS/NZ/FRA.. Their cheese platter is well served with 4 types of cheese. The atmosphere is really nice, you just feel like home.
