Eden Bar & Restaurant

Nice bar style restaurant with typical pub food plus a few more fancy options. The fries are quite nice, with extra crunchy outside.

The views are quite good overlooking the MLC centre eating area, and there is a nice balcony to dine/drink outside

I have worked literally on top of Eden Bar for almost 2 years and somehow in that time have never tried the lunch menu. I'd been there for many an after work tipple, but never for a bite to eat.

That all changed today when a group of colleagues decided to try out the $12 lunch specials. My expectations were honestly low, Eden isn't a place that evokes a lot of character, so for some reason I wasn't that excited.

However when the food came out I was pleasantly surprised. Firstly $12 lunch specials that's bloody good value. And secondly, when the food is actually good then you've really found a winner.

I ordered the schnitty coz it's been way too long since I've had one. The schnitty was a great decent size, freshly crumbled, juicy and smothered in mushroom sauce. The fries were thin like maccas fries as everyone always said, and served with a side of garden salad. Super satisfying feed, good to know there's schnitty accessible within a few steps of my everyday workplace.

Others at the table also ordered specials with the steak and the chicken burgers being popular hits. The burgers looked damn juicy, I think I'm going to have to come back to try one out. There's always next week!

This is a great place if you're in Sydney on a sunny winter's day, want to sit outside, want decent food, and want pretty quick service. This place ticks those boxes.

The food itself - I had the pan seared barramundi. Lovely and fresh, nicely seasoned and beautifully cooked - a tasty lunch served with chips and a garden salad. Even though it didn't necessarily look extravagant, the taste and texture was really quite good. Even though the barramundi is no doubt imported from somewhere in the north, I felt compelled to order the fish and, being in Sydney, fish always seems to taste better!

My friend opted for the lamb - which did look good. Service here is efficient and of a good standard, catering for those that are on a time schedule between meetings.
