I was really looking forward to dining here but the food did not live up to my expectations. I've only been here for breakfast, but I didn't find the food to be anything special. More

I was a little disappointed I couldn't eat my meal. I had ordered their granola and made the assumption that there were no nuts in it, as other dishes had mentioned nuts. I took a bite into mine and found a big juicy walnut staring me in the eye. I was devastated I couldn't eat it because of my allergy.... More

The service is fantastic in a well lit cafe with parisian style table and chairs. The food is amazing, selling their own products on site. The coffee is fantastic. Would definetly reccommend! More

Lovely little restaurant in Surry Hills. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two. Delicious food - try the gnocchi with burnt butter, sage and prawns. Yum! More

I have seen this 'one hatted' place a number of times whilst walking down Crown St., and although I never felt intrigued enough to just walk in, I felt somewhat attracted by its bare interior, its relaxed lighting, that -in-the-middle-between-cafe-and-restaurant feel. It looks like a place you want to try. Anyhow, tonight I dined at Bird Cow Fish for the... More

Friendly atmosphere. High quality food perfectly presented. Interesting small wine list. Excellent restaurant in a fun location. Could do with some bigger tables as our group of five was uncomfortably seated at 2 tiny round tables. When you call to book a table for more than four, check that you will be on a single bigger table. More

A friend invited my husband and I to dinner at Bird Cow Fish on a weeknight last month. I had heard really good things about it and was really looking forward to visiting. The restaurant itself is very nice - its very spacious and comfortable, although the toilets could've used a clean. We decided to just stick to main course... More
