Bishop Sessa - Surry Hills

Heard about this place for a while and tonight finally get a chance to visit. What can I say! Absolutely amazing~ I had scallops for entree, duck breast for main and banana rum tarte for desert~ wonderful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food. I particularly loved the lamb and also the milk chocolate tart for pudding.  Service was a bit unfriendly and cold though, including two different discussions about whether or not we were entitled to a free cocktail each for signing up to their subscription service when we hadn't received the email voucher.   You know, we weren't trying to scam you (emailed voucher eventually came mid-meal) and you should perhaps treat your customers as though they're not criminals, especially for the sake of two shots of gin. Honestly. Perhaps it's better if you cancel the special offer since it obviously causes bad feeling. Straight away I felt unwelcome.  Also, the ground floor has a bad damp problem too. Really smelt. I would go back because the food was so good and I'd sit upstairs, where the staff seemed much more chatty and friendly.

Bishop Sessa is a lovely and cozy restaurant with attentive and knowledgeable service. The interior of the restaurant is sleek and relaxed, allowing diners to let their hair down. They also employ a wide array of cooking techniques and offer a varied menu of food. I tried their three course meal and ordered the pan fried barramundi, milk chocolate tart and Berkshire pork. The pork and fish tasted pretty good but was unfortunate to be over-cooked. The milk chocolate was intriguingly delectable and certainly the highlight of my meal.

It is an unpretentious little restaurant on busy crown street. My partner and I had wanted to join the truffle event but missed out. This was our second attempt to land on this little gem. We had the $55 per person meal which comprised of a starter, a main and a dessert. There were many elements on each plate, which complimented each other. We had the scallop ceviche and the spice and Macadamia crusted Berkshire pork for starters. And as a Pre starter we were provided with a cheese pastry and a potato skin with nori aioli - i usually jump for joy when I see nori but not this time as the smell of the sea was just overwhelming. For mains we had a coal grilled duck breast and a char-grilled black Angus sirloin. I had a taste of the grilled duck and it was beautifully done! The crispiness of the skin and the pink meat, melted in your mouth. The sirloin though cooked again nicely was ordinary compared to the duck. Had a side of grilled zucchini with capers and creme fraiche. The pre dessert was a rendition of a smore without the chocolate. Beetroot and rhubarb took the chocolate's place in a creamy and slightly charred marshmallow. The best is yet to come. The desserts were excellent. I had an apple terrine and my partner, a black sesame parfait. I loved my dessert, it was delicate and well balanced with an apple cider ice cream. The crunchiness of the apples and the hints of spice were delightful. Overall it's a good place to go to during the weekends or any day. My partner and I enjoyed the dishes immensely and look forward to going back again.
