The Cottage Balmain

Nestled in a charming heritage cottage that's stood in the heart of Balmain since the late 1800s, The Cottage Balmain, a local restaurant and bar, has been the neighbourhood's excuse to linger since 2012.

Long lunches that dissolve into golden hour. Date nights by the fireplace. Garden parties under the fairy lights. Milestones toasted with your nearest and dearest. Our kitchen champions freshness and seasonality with sustainably caught Australian seafood, premium Riverine meats, and produce that tastes like it was picked this morning.

The Cottage Balmain sits midway along the Balmain peninsula, a short walk from the Balmain East ferry wharf and on the bus route that runs the length of Darling Street from the city. The front courtyard is dog friendly, and walk-ins are welcome alongside reservations.
