Thank you Chef Vini & team! What a satisfying concept & meal. When the chef & staff both are seen frequently delivering the dishes, we definitely feel the love & warmth that go into the kitchen!

We had the degustation menu and each dish was superb in taste and presentation. It was Tuesday locals’ night with BYO but we were disappointed with the $15 per bottle corkage - there is no incentive in bringing your own at this price. Staff pleasant but need a little more sophistication in how they manage the table and the needs of the group.

Great mission, great people, and great food and drink.. what more could one want? Start with the Halloumi Sticks and finish with Chocolate Pie and you'll be a happy camper.

Really good simple food with great flavours and variety. The FeedMe menu is definitely the way to go. Enjoyed the evening and sat outside in the courtyard. Would definitely recommend.

Courteous and attentive service. The charred beetroot dish had a particularly innovative structure with perfectly balanced flavours and textures. The concept of donating profits to charity will hopefully be copied elsewhere. Thank you, forlovenotmoney!

I really wanted to love this restaurant but it was a little bit of a let down if i'm honest. The food i would rate OK but some of it was just confused. Why oh why would you cover a beautiful eggplant in powdered white icing sugar?! We were also a bit perplexed as to why the waitress felt she needed to come every 5 minutes to ask us how everything was. The wine we selected though was A+

Fantastic, fresh food from a small but expertly put together menu. The service was exemplary and sitting up at the bar stools in full view of the open kitchen was a great experience.

Beautiful atmosphere, lovely decor and friendly staff, but sadly the food was pretty disappointing. There are only so many sunflower seeds you can eat in one meal - I wouldn't recommend this for vegetarians or hungry humans.

Great concept but food was nice rather than stand out and is pricey for what it is. If it weren't a social enterprise, I wouldn't go.

Delicious food and a varied menu. Folonomo staff were very attentive, friendly and changed the food ordered to suit my friend’s nut allergy. A great atmosphere and all for a really great cause.

Great idea and great restaurant. Diligent and vibrant staff. Best to get a table out the front on the left (north) side of the restaurant if you can.

Had read reviews prior to going and a few commenters said that the service was a bit slow. I feel like the restaurant also had read reviews and improved in this because we were a larger group (8) and the service was impeccable. They were constantly refilling our wine/water glasses, the pace of the food was perfect, and at the end when we realised we had to rush to catch our train they cleared the table as soon as we requested it and brought the cake so we could sing, and then packed it for those that had to leave. The food was amazing, varied dishes and all delicious. Highly recommended!

Had the set menu which was a little bit pricey but well worth it. The food and the cocktails were great, and a good selection of wines. Knowing that the restaurant donates part of their profits makes it all worth while. Great job guys.

Not good, not bad either. Went a year ago and blew me away. This time restaurant was neatly empty, and food very bland. Seemed completely different and to have lost its way.

Really great food and atmosphere! Steak was perfect, chicken was perfect.. pretty much licked all the plates clean. Service got a bit slow towards the end as the place filled up, but didnt detract from the overall experience.

A lovely experience at Folonomo. The concept is wonderful. The service was impeccable, very friendly, extremely accommodating but also not intrusive. The food was interesting and different. The curry was really fantastic.

The food was wonderful and the staff super attentive. I would recommend for small groups or date night. Of course, the fact that the profit goes to charity makes the food extra-feel-good!

The food was great, and service very good. Although perhaps a little less pace would have been nice. Quick to take away things & then didn't bring bill when we asked for it - go figure.
