A culinary experience

Great service and an evening spent enjoying a tasting menu. I loved most of the dishes, my favorite was the extra cheese board and the roasted beetroot

Perfect engagement celebration venue

My partner proposed to me yesterday on a beautiful sunny day in Sydney. He brought us here in the evening to celebrate the occasion which ticked every box imaginable. This is a wonderful dining experience that anyone should try at least once. Here is an establishment with outstanding food, an excellent wine menu, knowledgeable staff and remarkable venue all at another level of superb. Thank you for making our evening memorable.

Shame

The obligatory one star for being plant based is well earnt and another for the items on the menu. The disapointment and dismay experienced due to the dormancy of the facade and the charade of the fine dining experience whilst seated amongst mouldy ruins that I guess were meant to accentuate the experience or maybe made a statement back in the future when people would go anywhere if the food is good only had me thinking that the BENTLEY GROUP didn't respect the type of customer this gimmick attracts (or is it all part of the initiation) to the extent to pay the decorators.

Pros: An extra $9 lions mane mushrooms, Exquisite Foraging for Berries Tea, My wife said that they '-do a good handsoap'

Cons: The luster of the EXT. will not excuse the INT.

Superb fine dining and wine pairing

It doesn't get much better than this. It's rare enough to find a vegan fine dining option, but Yellow is particularly special and good. The food is creative, diverse, well-portioned, healthy, and delicious. The ambiance and service is excellent but not too uptight. The wine pairing is one of the best and most unique we've ever had. The price is not cheap but is a much better value given the portions and quality compared to other fine dining experiences.

Pros: All vegan plant based, Awesome food, wine, service, and atmosphere, Good value for fine dining

Novelty food

Good food, wasn’t blown away. Sommelier was very knowledgeable. Fun experience for a one off. Probably wouldn’t rush back as I prefer more cheap and cheerful food.

Been a few times now. Each season is different and some dishes/seasons are better than others but it is a nice experience and good service.

Excellent

A fine dining restaurant serving a six course menu. Fully vegan. A large variety of drinks on the menu as well! Went here for my birthday and they gave a complimentary cake! Excellent hospitality and the servers explained every dish very well. As my first fine dining experience, I would highly recommend this! The food has so many different flavours and textures!

Absolutely Fantastic Food

Booked a table at Yellow for a special occasion and we weren't disappointed. From start to finish we were well looked after by the very attentive waiting staff.
The tasting menu was divine, fresh and clean tasting food. Each course was stunning and the flavours were out of this world. Absolutely loved the Mushroom Skewer, I could eat a whole plate of those.
I've been wanting to try this place for a while and very glad that we did as the food is superb.

Cons: Not vegan owned/not a vegan company.

Great restaurant

Lovely high end restaurant. Nice flavours. It would be good if they used more protein as the meals are not very filling.

Artful food, prepare to wait

The food was very good and artful. The wine selection was nice and I enjoyed the ambience. I wish they'd either include the ala carte items in the regular menu or not have them. Also the service was very slow. I waited 25 minutes for one dish and 10-15 minutes was not uncommon.

Highly skilled

Overall a great spot with awesome ambience, staff, and… well, food.

I’m only giving it four stars since we went on NYE and the tasting menu for that night felt like a letdown; the level of skill on display does make me suspect it’d be a five star rating from me if we went on a normal night.

Pros: Great wine options

A brilliant set menu with a sensational movement of flavor
every step was delicious and unique, the additional food items were a must. We chose the wine pairings and Sam did a wonderful job of narrating our wines which were exquisite!!. It was one of two top vegan restaurant experiences in 17 years … the other one is Shizen in SFO

Pros: food & wines!, staff, ambience

Very unique, fine dining experience.

It’s pretty cool to see how they do so many unique dishes with only vegetables and no mock meats or other mock animal products. Everything is delicious, but weird at the same time. The service was out of this world phenomenal, the best I’ve ever had.. but the price is a big killer for me and it’s a once in a lifetime kinda place to enjoy for sure.

Outstanding, inventive, truly extraordinary food

I've been vegan for more than 35 years, chasing the best vegan meals in any city I visit. I can honestly say that I have never had a better or more creative meal than the tasting menu at Yellow in Sydney. The chef combined flavors into unique inventions, each bite even better than the last. Ingredients were as fresh and healthy as they were delicious. Fine dining at its best, with attention to detail.

My companion especially loved the atmosphere - a cozy, uncrowded corner with subdued lighting and jazz playing. We arrived when the restaurant opened, which we recommend if you want to beat the crowd.

Pros: Inventive menu, Chef is a genius!, Delightful and helpful staff

Cons: no cons

Fine dining and delicious

Truly a lovely experience coming to yellow adored the environment, loved the set menu with all the dishes to try.
Loved some, questioned a few, mildly disappointed by the dessert (got a sweet tooth)

But over all loved coming and getting to enjoy a fine dining experience. You’re never got nail it with everyone, having so many courses, but I admired the creativity and loved so many of the flavours.

Delicious 6 course fine dining

I loved the whole experience of the place. Six courses of delicious fine dining with paired with non alcoholic drinks which were incredible. Alcoholic pairing also available.

I loved that each course was explained in detail too. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

I would 100% go back, so tasty.

Amazing experience

What a great evening! You are treated to many courses of creative and delicious vegan food. Each course was explained as it was set down and eating it was a great experience.I never thought carrots could taste so good! I'd highly recommend the non-alcoholic drink accompaniment, all the drinks were lovely and went well with the food.

Pros: Great experience, Delicious vegan food, Lovely drinks

Truly unique Vegan fine dining

Holy HappyCow! This place is a one of a kind experience. I tasted flavor combinations that I simply didn't know existed. Everything was curated down to the smallest detail. I enjoyed the 'Tasting Menu' along with the premium wine pairing. I also ordered one additional entree (not included in the 'Tasting Menu') so there was a total of 8 dishes brought out with 8 different wines that complimented the food perfectly. Their menu does change quite often, but I doubt this place will make something you won't enjoy. Each time a dish & wine were brought out the waiter did a fantastic job of describing the meal (or wine), its background, the sourcing of the ingredients, how the dish is put together/inspiration behind the meal, how/where the wine is grown and how it compliments the food. Don't hesitate and GO!

Always beautiful food

I've eaten a few times here and it's great to see this place fully vegan instead of previously being partially vegetarian. The food is delicious and beautiful and incentive. It's a bit exxy but it's a wonderful experience so come here for a special occasion or just to treat yourself to amazing food.

Fully vegan fine dining

We had an amazing night at Yellow. The food was inventive, creative and delicious. The staff was great and very attentive without being intrusive.

The restaurant is fully vegan.

The atmosphere is relaxed. This is a great place for date night, special occasions or simply treat yourself.

The menu changes every few months, which is exciting.

You can select a wine pairing or non-alcoholic pairing (with creative and tasty "cocktails" and drinks). We tried both and they were well matched to the food and added to the experience.

We loved all our dishes and can't wait to return.

Pretty good

Lovely restaurant, nice ambiance, although tables are somewhat tightly squeezed together and personal space is limited. The tasting menu was decent, however there is definetly space for improvement in terms of menu design as well as timing of the dishes. We found some dishes interesting whereas others were disappointing. The menu seems to change quite frequently and while the online menu showed brunt cabbage as one of the mains, we were served a slice of beetroot instead which was ok but not really refined enough for a fine dining tasting menu. The cultured cashew and the smoked carrot were well crafted, but unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the gnudi which were just bland and looked like fish balls in water which I didn’t find very appetising to look at. The desserts were ok but nothing to rave about. We also found the champagne & sparkling wine list disappointing, but apparently it also changes quite often.

We were seated at 8pm which unfortunately meant that staff started cleaning the restaurant at one point and the pace of dishes coming out declined. On multiple occasions we ended up waiting 15 minutes or more for the next course even though the restaurant was nearly empty at the time. By the end of our 3 hour dining experience our energy was drained and we were glad we could finally leave.

All in all the experience is not the best in the universe like some local folk describe, but it’s pretty good. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back although I would definitely try to get an earlier seating.
