This is a little overdue review, so their menu may have changed since we visited them. I drove past this restaurant so often but only finally got to try the food recently😅 we ordered the lamb ribs and the lamb brains for entree. Yes lamb brains! 😁😆. The lamb ribs was beautiful! Crispy on the outside, tasty and well balanced flavour when eaten with that very slight sweetness from the sauce on top. The lamb brain pieces were slightly coated in batter, deep fried and served with some juz that compliments them well. It was served with pea puree seated on a crunchy tart pastry similar texture to meat pie base or a lemon tart. It was topped with crispy pancetta/prosciutto. Overall great entrees. The main were the roast beef with green beans & potato gratin, also a crispy duck with sweet potato mash. The beef was juicy, tender and home feel. Delicious simple dish well cooked. The duck had beautiful texture, but unfortunately too aggressive on the salt on my taste bud. There’s always room for dessert😍, so we ordered 2 desserts. My memory of the title of dessert has largely evaporated, so please excuse my lack of description of them😅🙏🏻. One of them was their creme brulee with raspberry sorbet(? Sageleaf please correct me if i’m wrong) it had beautiful layers of textures. Some crumbles, then smooth and sweet underneath, then you scoop a bit of that sorbet, you get a combination of sweet and sour party in your mouth. Just beautiful! The other dessert is their Tunisian (orange) cake. It was refreshing yet sweet on the cake with some sort of fruit compote on the base and ice cream and frozen yoghurt on top of the cake. It was quite enjoyable, but a little too sweet on the cake itself. Great service by the owner of husband and wife. I was pleasantly surprised by this local gems.
Sageleaf Bistro is a hidden treasure in Hawthorn. Delicious food, friendly and attentive service. Extensive menu and good wines. Great location on Burwood Road. A restaurant where you can talk- relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Fantastic food and service. Made a last minute Valentines booking last year and they gave us a great table and service. Recommend to everyone!
Another great meal at Sageleaf! We always make a point of visiting this lovely, family-owned restaurant every time we come to Melbourne. Intimate atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, scrumptious food...what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!
Had such a lovely night at Sageleaf Bistro! The food was not only absolutely beautiful but also original. I had the tenderloin and my wife had the pan fried gnocchi. Great service also, the hostess/owner was lovely to chat to and a good laugh!
I came here tnt for date night with Glenn Poyser.
Came across this quaint little restaurant in Hawthorn on Zomato - had some pretty amazing reviews and awesome menu so booked in for dinner @ 7:30pm.
Greeted by the chefs wife - started with scallops on leek roulette and my partner had pork fritters with pea purée! Wow o wow!!!
Main was braised pork belly with Fennell purée and Glenn had lamb shoulder that melted in your mouth!
Dessert was yummy!!! Chocolate pudding and rhubarb tart with rhubarb compote in a glass.....the pastry was amaze balls!!
This is my first 5.0 on Zomato - you will not be disappointed eating here - the food is absolutely delicioso!!!! The hard choice is deciding on what to eat - will be back, sooner rather than later!!!
Great, intimate. Lovely food and lovely service. Thank you for a wonderful evening. All the food was fantastic. I'm so glad we came, as I've been looking for a place like this for a while.
Looking for a local restaurant who can match it with the best its here and will not disappoint. We dined here last Saturday evening with friends and from the pan fried scallops for entree and the confit duck leg and tenderloin of beef, all cooked to perfection with beautiful flavours to complement each dish. You feel like your dining with friends as the atmosphere is relaxing and cosy. Service is extremely efficient and it all happens with a minimum of fuss. The BYO option is great as you can enjoy your own favourite wines with the meal. Dark chocolate mousse was a huge winner and the cheese platter was substantial for two people. A wonderful night was had by all, will be back and highly recommend.
Had a fantastic dinner! Pan fried snapper-to die for! Superb service!
Absolutely beautiful!!! Such lovely food (we ate the duck and the gnocchi) and great service in a small cozy restaurant. Really enjoyed my coffee too after the meal. Very impressed and will recommend to friends!
Wonderful attentive service and outstanding faultless meal on my birthday. Chilli beef cigars were tender and delicious. Cauliflower cheese fritters were fluffy and full of flavour. Jerk Chicken, gnocchi and fillet of beef all superb quality and presentation along with perfect wine to match.
Highly recommend and will definitely return. Excellent host and beautiful ambience.
My family eats here so often and it has become a favourite of ours. The only thing more lovely than Anne greeting you at the start of your meal is the confit duck leg often on the menu.
Our local "go to" restaurant when we want really good food in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. We have NEVER had a bad meal... the food is always amazing, inventive and good size servings.... cannot recommend Sage Leaf enough.
The Sageleaf menu is limited but all yummy. The vegetarian option of a gnocchi dish was outstanding and exceeded my expectations.
The most awesome food cooked to perfection....Get in before the 25th as closing due to end of lease ....shattered....
Excellent good, great, great service. Very reasonably priced wine list. Put this on your must try list.
Fantastic menu, lovely wine list. Always a great night out.
