Reviews The Cauliflower Hotel

Best pub food on the planet. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Great rum bar upstairs. Great great great. I'd stay permanently but they keep making me go home.

Swung by after work to check out the upstairs rooftop bar area. Being quiet midweek, there is time for the friendly bar (and kitchen) staff to chat. The Cauli have a southern american mexi fusion menu going on. With the chef hailing straight from the motherland, you'll find tacos, a few varieties of wings, burgers, jerk chicken, and if as lucky as we were, the double beef burger special.

Only $4 more than their usual burger, it stood taller than a schooner of beer with real fried onion rings, bacon and two medium cooked patties. The fries drizzled it sriracha, cheese sauce and ranch dressing. as expected, practicality is out the window and its a little hard to eat, that aside, it nails every character needed with the flavour and textures, despite the difficulty in handling.

The pork ribs don't quite fall off the bone but are tender enough to make it so much easier to eat than the burger. They are large in serving, with two lathered racks layered proudly. The sauce is mildly sticky, insanely sweet, with a hint of smoke. It's not a complex sauce but it remains a better example of what a number of other venues in Sydney think is worthy of serving up when it comes to pork ribs.

A great local for a cheap pub feed. The lunch menu is good with $12 options including schnitty' and burgers. I had the fish and chips which were delicious.

I'd recommend giving this a go if your in the mood for an easy pub feed.

I’ve been here a number of times recently for lunch and dinner and sampled quite a few items on the menu. Usually I’ve had the rump steak with chips and salad. The quality of the food has been high. The steak’s usually a nice cut and cooked well. I’ve also tried the Supreme pizza, pork sausages with mash as well as the fish and chips and they’ve all been very good. The presentation has been nice as well as the taste. I do prefer the thick-cut fries to the thinner variety. I’ve found that prices are roughly the same for pub bistro food in Sydney and it’s worthwhile getting the specials on offer because the quality of the fare is the same but prices can be significantly lower. 

The interior setting is new and pleasing and the service has been friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed. Parking can usually be found nearby and after 7 p.m., it’s possible to park along the main Botany Road although it may be better to park along a side street given that Botany Road is usually quite busy.

Definitely worth a try.. We stopped there because I was able to fluke easy parking.

Ordered from the specials. At the price, definitely recommended. The publican was working hard. Very hard.

He will flourish. Something the chains lack.

Good food, Good service.. Went there with my partner. Had the beef and mushroom pie with chips on the specials board. For $13 was a good size, great taste and could not fault it. The menu has burgers, steaks, schnitzel and the like. Good pub food at a fair price. Will be back.
