Chiswick Restaurant

The verdict

This is where owner Matt Moran comes to dine, which means you can be sure the experience at Chiswick Woollahra is in a league of its own.

Located in the picturesque Chiswick Gardens, an oasis just out of the city, it is the kind of place that will have you losing all concept of time and take you to your happy place, where you can let the hours (and the courses) fly by. 

Chiswick is the epitome of communal dining. At the heart of their seasonal menu is a commitment to transforming locally sourced and grown produce into dishes that are perfect for sharing. With much of Chiswick's produce grown in their own kitchen garden and lamb sourced from the Moran family farm, you'll want to bring all of your friends along to divide and conquer their seasonal menus. 

There's also a stellar wine list, complete with a seriously good selection of cocktails.
