Zhu Canton

The verdict

Located inside The Randwick Club, Zhu Canton is a Cantonese restaurant offering traditional Asian fare with a modern twist. The space is dimly lit and has multiple intimate dining spaces and features soft and billowing fabric of an abstract Chinese watercolour moves in ripples.

The open kitchen is the star of the décor show and the food coming over the pass lives up to the theatrical hype. In addition to the Yum Cha menu of dumplings and dim sims, the dinner menu is extensive, featuring live and fresh seafood dishes such as mud crab, Murray cod and baby abalone. If you’re heading there with a group, we recommend that you skip the tough decisions and opt for the Imperial Banquet Selection.

In the way of drinks, Zhu Canton’s wine list heroes Australian and New Zealand regional wines and their signature cocktails include ingredients like sake, World Whisky and Cognac’s in addition to their selection of local boutique and imported beers and ciders.
