After Dark - Feock United Kingdom

This is a small cosy establishment. I think it might be too small for its popularity. But it might what lent to its warmth and cosiness. Nothing remarkable about its cocktails. The chicken liver parfait is one of the best in Sydney I've ever tasted. The texture was very smooth and it was full flavoured. The serving was generous and we had to ask for another serving of accompanying bread. The fresh bread itself warrants its own review: it came very soft, fresh and buttered. Their famous Chateaubriand steak did not fail to impress. It was very tender, juicy and well flavoured. The accompanying green beans and potatoes were equally well cooked and tasted good on their own. The profiteroles did not keep up with our entree and main, but it was still pretty good. I liked that it was not too sweet just right. Service was good, too attentive, friendly, prompt and accurate.

Intimate dining experience. The food is good with all the favourites on the menu, at times like this I wish I had a dining partner to share. I settle for steak frites. It’s a delicious meal, with crispy fries and delicate salad. Definitely will be back

This venue has been on my list ever since I saw their French Onion soup on my feed. I had never tried it before and I wanted this place to be the one to change that. When I want to order almost everything off a menu, I try and go with as many people as I can to make that happen. I think we had enough people for this dinner and for me to try the dishes I had been eyeing out! The 'Salmon Tartare ' had to be one of my favourite dishes of the night. The tiny bits of Granny Smith Apple surprised me and gave it a little more texture and this beautiful flavour to the dish. We also ordered the 'Macleay Street Bistro Organic Grass Fed Eye Fillet Steak Tartare ' because it 's me and if a venue has steak tartare, I 'll order it. It was beautiful but I preferred the salmon this time! A couple of appetisers and snacks included a dozen of the 'Sydney Rock Oysters ' and these gorgeous 'Garlic Prawns ' that were served with baguette bread. I am telling you, we had enough baguettes to run a bakery and I loved that! Anything we could pair with the bread, we did and that chilli bisque with the prawns was perfect to dip the bread into. It also went with with the beautiful ‘Chicken Liver Parfait’. This seriously looked like a scoop of ice cream but it was far from it! Match made in heaven with the red onion confit served along side it. So yes, I finally got to try my first ever 'French Onion Soup ' and this was served with Comté cheese. It was absolutely beautiful and I am so glad this was the venue I tried it in. It would be perfect on a cold winter 's day and even though I didn 't have the entire thing to myself, this would be a solid meal as it 's so rich, hearty and very filling. One onion dish wasn 't enough, so we ordered the 'Twice Baked French Onion Soufflé with Truffle Butter ' and of course, it was served with a petit baguette! Soufflé 's can be very rich for me so I am glad we shared this one but my god, it was delicious. It was like a big, warm hug from a French man. For the main, we ordered the 'Steak Frites ' which came with a baby rocket green pear salad and some French fries. At a first glance, I thought the steak would have been overcooked but when we cut into it, it was perfect. The fries.. we demolished those in about 30 seconds. We also ordered dessert. This was the 'Crepes Suzettes ' flambéd with Grand Marnier. A couple of us wanted the staff to redo the flambé, so that meant twice the booze! Unfortunately, I could not eat it as it was too strong for me but I would go back and try it without the liqueur. Shoutout to our waiter Patty for being amazing!

Macleay Street Bistro delivers authentic traditional French cuisine. The portions are generous and our food was cooked to perfection. The staff are friendly and engaging. There’s a reasonable wine list and you can also BYO. The venue is quaint and cozy

Absolutely delicious! Came here the other night with my partner without a booking and they were more than accommodating. Had steak tartare parfait to start and chateaubriand for a main (included sides and a couple desserts to finish! Cannot recommend them enough. Will definitely be back :
