Having a wonderful dining experience is more than just eating good food. It’s about ambiance, company, and conversation. Last night my new friends Rudy And Max, the owners at Stuyvesant’s House, delivered an unforgettable experience on all fronts. With one of the most extensive wine lists I’ve ever seen and a spot at the Chefs table in the wine cellar, this culinary experience most definitely makes my top 5. Make sure you reserve the chefs table well in advance, It has very limited availability but absolutely worth waiting for.
Wow what a great night fantastic service excellent food and wine Mathew you are one hilarious waiter worth every cent . Would definitely come again and recommend this place highly to all my friends.
Great food. Creative and thoughtful but with one food in tradition. Lovely atmosphere and a wine list that simply can not be beat.
Great atmosphere, food and service. Very elaborate wine list. Top notch place
Had the best meal! The service was fantastic! One of the best nights due to the fantastic service and humour of the staff. Would recommend this place with a 10/10.
The newly rebuilt restaurant has downsized its menu, but upsized the quality. Highly recommend.
Superb jovial service as per the normal course! The Ebeneezer Shiraz was tremendous and we could barely move from all the food consumed....except to visit the cellar (best wine cellar in Sydney)!!
Rudy and Max are my heroes. Enormous wine list and amazing food
Great restaurant, service was excellent, food traditional and flavoursome, wine cellar is a must see
A fabulous day.. food & drink galore.. Gail’s awesome
The most wonderful experience food from another dining era� The Veal snitzels were superb, loved the clam chowder. Max and Rudi superb in there delightful customer engagement . Lots of love Katrina the lady with the red bag��
Great place great food and very very pleasant service .
Had a delightful evening. Both food and service was great.
Best long lunch in 15 years was the comment by a colleague! Rudy an absolute champion. Food great. Wine the best. Can't beat it in Sydney for authentic genuine wine experience. Highly recommended.
Food - just like how my grandma will cook it. Lots of ingredients in the Seafood chowder. Lots of sauce and condiments in the ains. Makesure you ask for the soufflé when you get the dessert platter.
Wine are the highlight! Impressive winelist, Rudi has accumulate his cellar for 50 years. We manage to pop a 1979 bottle of Cab from Coonawarra & it still taste fab! I don't think any mid range restaurant in Sydney carries such a huge selection, all a reasonable price too!
Service - there were two tables who has been a patrons for a long time (one 25 years & the other table 40 years), they pretty much know what they are having before they came on. Rudi's "no nonsense “ approach help us "first timer" to navigate his menu. Rudi is a bit intense but lovely gentleman and proud of his restaurant.
Had planned to go out for dinner to a ribs place with a couple of friends, when we got there the restaurant had closed down! So we walked a few blocks and decided to try Stuyvesant House. Fantastic service from the moment we walked in. My friends had a platter to share, and I had a trio of meats which was absolutely amazing! The sauces and flavours were divine. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and a great character. This place also has a wine list with over 5000 wines! Great little neighbourhood gem!
Max and Rudi have been trading since 1973, and present a polished dining experience with a superb accompaniment of wine—the broadest range of wine in NSW, with prices up to $7000 a bottle (that's not a misprint). Come and enjoy.
Traditional European foods and run by family. They have been in the market since 1961. Came in a Saturday after pandemic and it is still very busy. Owner really like to engage with customers which is good. However, their staff need to be trained properly. We did could hear the owner shout to their staff. He couldn’t address their staff’s name which is a bit rude. Food is good and general portions.
This restaurant made me fall in love with German food. The owners are so friendly and food is amazing. The environment is very pleasant and enjoyable. Will definitely come back soon. 😍
What can you say? 50 years of not just a restaurant but a dining experience. Rudi and Max are old school - no flouncy service here. Just honest hospitality and a commitment to deliver the best food, the best wine and the best experience.

We went to lunch at Stuyvesant House today and wanted to leave a review.
Once or twice a year I pick my wife up for lunch as our work is rarely allowing of lunch together. We walked off the street and straight into a fully relaxed and enjoyable situation as if we were in Europe on Holiday. Matthew organised an amazing Pinot Noir and brought us home made Bitterballen and Pretzels.
We ordered the Chateaux Briande and Matthew assured us we did not need an entree.
Rudi the owner came to greet us and shared many stories and breathed even more life into an already great experience. The food was really good, we had zero complaints. Have we had better food? Yes we have. have we had a better experience? rarely. Do we appreciate the experiecnes as a top 10 expeirnece in Sydney? Yes, it is an absolute joy. A vfriend of ours told us that this place had one of the best wine cellars in Australis. We went to see it and were blown away by the extent of the collection and the love and atteniton Rudi gives to making things special for his guests.
Loving this place as an absolute gem, thanks guiys, great team, great experience and a great landmark to the Sydney food scene!

I love this place. It is not for everyone it is a totally different dining experience. Leave your pretensions at home and step into the wonderful world of Rudi and Max. Absolutely follow Rudi's wine recommendations the bloke is a living legend and don't be upset if he decides to test you. Spend your money on wine you wont be disappointed. This place slaps
