Went to Red Lantern a few days ago, six of us, had to pay a $300 deposit on booking 6 weeks ago. Luckily the outside heaters were working on a chilly winter's evening, we were seated just a few metres from the rushing traffic. We were booked for the 6pm sitting, so had to be out by 8pm. We were... More

Delicious food, so clean and tasty. We took advantage of a degustation menu and really enjoyed it. Lots of flavour, and I hope you like chilli because there was plenty of it! Seated inside which was good because it was a very cold night .. you may want to specifically request where you want to be (inside or outside) when... More

We visited Red Lantern on a saturday night to celebrate my sister's birthday and had a booking for 5 people. I had made the booking over 2 months in advance and was surprised they only had 9pm sitting but this is a celebrity chef in Sydney & a weedend dinner. We ordered the 'Saigon Scrumptious' tasting menu option and the... More

we went with another couple. The staff is very atentive and guide your choice with a precise understanding of the dishes. The boss should take its deserving staff to VN to be fully inspired bu this original cuisine with good wine list combination. We had a great time, palette "enchantement" ! More

We started with delcious cocktails of vanilla vodka with lychee and coconut water. The menu was great - but if you are vegetarian, there are a very... More

I had mentioned to my new Vietnamese/ Australian daughter in law that I had seen Luke Ngyuen's programmes on T.V.in England, so at the end of our trip to Australia she and my son took us to The Red Lantern. What can I say, the staff were fantastic, the ambiance exceptional and the food, out of this world. My experience... More

What an inspired choice! After reading other reviews we chose the tasting menu matched with wine. Some of the best food we... More
