great food for a good cause with great service from staff. The special cocktail Summer in Kyoto was particularly good. The quail with apricot and almond pure with parika oil was absolutely amazing.

Highly recommended. Beautiful food and service is fantastic. Love the terrace house and the decor. The menu is variety. The terrine and quail are amazing. The waiter told us menu will be changed every 3 months. Will go back for sure.

Food was great, but felt a bit rushed by the service and would have preferred to be seated away from a large, noisy corporate function.

if you book online, I would recommend leaving a comment or phoning to state you want to be sat in the restaurant not opposite the kitchen in a bar style format (unless you like that). The food was very nice, we opted for the banquet ($70 pp). The entrees did come out too fast though (had 4-5 on the table at one point) and the mains then came out pretty slowly. All together a good experience though, would recommend if you havent been there

While we accepted the social aims of the restaurant we felt the menu was a bit underwhelming and underseasoned. concept was fine but the flavours werent very bold.

The seating was very uncomfortable. I love to sit at a restaurant after dining until my meal digests - it was lacking warmth and comfortable, cosy seating.

Food service atmosphere are amazing. Their menu changes every three months and an art gallery up stairs! Even better. 100% profit goes to charities...feels good!

Food tasty although brussels sprouts seemed a bit undercooked. Service was also ok. Basically it was a satisfactory experience but nothing spectacular so probably won't return.

Cosy restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food! Simple dishes that are flavourful and filling. The flatbread for a starter was perfect, and our mains were just as satisfying. Highly recommended!

Great food and wine - the orange wine was divine with the shredded prawns. Design of the place was also lovely and added to a nice ambience but some staff are more knowledgable than others.

The food was good but not exceptional... I liked the concept of the not for profit. The place was a little noisy and it was difficult to have a conversation at times.

Staff and drinks were amazing food so disappointing. New many pls! The only enjoyable dish we had was the tapioca dumplings! Cocktails and wine list are on point. Staff was amazing and very attentive. If they change the menu or have better execution on the food we'll definitely come back.

Good food& service. There are some interesting dishes. King fish& barammudi dish were delicious. But the desert Apple pudd was a disappointment. I like the profit for charity concept.

Such a cosy and welcoming restaurant... the food was delicious - really interesting flavours with great cocktails and wine to match. The staff were friendly and very helpful. And just the fact that all profits go to charity makes your evening so much better. Remember to tip!

There were 6 of us so we chose the banquet menu, which whilst it was not the cheapest option, was good value. Beautiful flavours, and so much of it! The barramundi was our favourite, along with the tapioca fritters. The first five courses came in a rush then we asked for a break, which became a really long gap. Perhaps ask to space out the courses more evenly. The service was good though our waitress kept saying spicy when she meant spiced, which meant my son who doesn't like spicy food missed out, despite our reassurances! Overall, great food, good atmosphere and we love the idea of a restaurant with a social conscience, putting profits back into the community. Enjoy!

We enjoyed every course, such a cute place. Love the ambience and decor, definitely a date night local gem as well. Lovely flavours, good portion sizes and nice variety. The service was great and staff were friendly. Will definitely return! The philosophy and overall concept that profits go towards not for profits makes me admire this place even more!

Loved the ambience, really cosy. Had a table in the little courtyard out the back, which is really cute, with blankets in case it gets cold, which it didn't. Great service, great food. The art gallery upstairs is an unexpected bonus.

Stumbled across looking for a BYO restaurant (which they do Tuesdays for the locals). What a great little find, an amazing philosophy behind the food, wonderful food and friendly service to match.

Folonomo has fabulous food and even better service. It is always a pleasure to eat here with friends. And the gallery upstairs was a revelation.
