Dead Ringer

Understatedly stylish and a purveyor of modern Australian cuisine and handcrafted cocktails, Dead Ringer is one of Surry Hills’ trendiest new haunts for dining and drinking, located on Bourke Street. With rustic wooden furniture and friendly service, this Sydney restaurant’s neighbourhood vibe makes you feel as if you’re dining at a friends place, even more so when you try the delicious yet unpretentious home-style cuisine on offer. The menu is shaken up regularly but expect to find dishes like spiced lamb ribs served with herb yoghurt, grass-fed Angus sirloin with black garlic mustard and heirloom carrots with pine nuts and tarragon, while on the drinks menu you’ll encounter equally as appetising choices ranging from cocktails like the Noble Maid (a combination of pisco, cucumber, lime and botrytis) to an array of wines, craft beers and ciders.
