About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Good for groups

Now walk-ins only for Brunch, with Dinner bookings from 5pm & all day Sunday

Evelyn’s is an easy-going local restaurant serving brunch classics by day and refined, small plates by night. With the kitchen centred around a charcoal Inka grill, live fire cooking adds personality to the dishes, taking inspiration from Levantine and Pan-asian favourites. A go-to for the local neighbourhood and travellers alike, the food is seasonal and humble while the intimate setting ensures that the focus is on the food and experience. Evelyn’s accepts bookings for Dinner (from 17:00) and all day Sunday (full roast menu), with Brunch operating on a walk-in basis.

Below Evelyn’s, The Daisy is a Parisian Pigalle-inspired bar with local resident DJs playing every weekend. Enjoy 20% off your bill pre- or post-dinner when you show your reservation. Expect late-night escapism with a plush, loft party energy and a refined drinks menu. The Daisy welcomes walk-ins, but booking is highly recommended.

Went in yesterday with my friend, where we came across a member of staff, this staff member was really rude, not impressed. So I said I booked in a reservation for 2 and then she gives me a blank awkward stare and then proceeds to check and then with another awkward stare saying .. name???… , first of all that’s rude, you would expect them to say I’m sorry can I take your name, or can I have your name darling or sweet. Then we sat down and she took our order, still being awkward, it’s them awkward stares making you feel like your dumb, like I’ve done something wrong. Lastly, went to pay and she was talking to another staff member who was a male, anyways she had the receipt on a little plate and she turns her face towards mine with the same awkward blank stare and I said can I pay and she’s like what, I said can I pay and she then looks down the plate, like again making me feel dumb, how was I meant to know that she had the reciept there. Both me and my friend felt the same, we wont be returning. Do better!!!

The host we had did not seem happy at all that we'd made a big group booking, she came off as quite rude and rushed us to order food. It took 40 minutes just to get coffees for the table and the food we ordered we had to ask a couple of times how long it would be. And once we did receive our food, it was awful quality, the eggs where rubbery and hard, the salmon was also hard as if it had been sat out for awhile. We had heard really good reviews about this place so very disappointed in what we got out of it. Won't be back again.

Great food and wine with excellent service and a brilliant atmosphere. Kayane was very knowledgeable and friendly, she suggested various dishes for us to try all of which were full of flavour and very moreish. We would definitely recommend A+

Bizarre menu that the poor staff had to explain. Small plates that are supposed to be shared but then we were told some were too small to share and some were huge. The menu said ‘Tuna’ but we had to be told it was raw tuna. It was actually delicious but why can’t the description just be on the menu? The menu said ‘Ceasar’ but the staff wanted to point out that it was a salad and would go well with the chicken dishes. Good service and great place, just need to rewrite the menu and save the staff an extra job!
