Mat Lindsay's wood-fired restaurant in Chippendale is a darling of Sydney's inner-city dining scene, beloved for its inventive share plates and exceptional natural wine list. The menu changes constantly but the wood-roasted dishes — whatever they are that night — are always the highlight. It gets loud and lively, and walk-ins are tough on weekends, so book ahead.
