About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
Next Door is the sister restaurant of Margaret, which, quite literally, sits next door to it at the corner of Bay St and Guilfoyle Avenue. Featuring a rolling 12-hour lunch-to-dinner menu, the bar brings you a selection of specially curated small plates such as Woodfire Grilled Peppers, Cherry Tomatoes with Oregano, Braised Zucchini with Mint, Chilli and Pecorino, as well as an amazing selection of Consorcio, Cuca, Pollastrini, Ortiz and Real Conversas tins with some freshly baked sourdough from Baker Bleu. It's also home to the famous Perry hamburger.

"It's just a place to get some really nice hospitality, chill out and enjoy your day," Neil Perry.
Sandwiched between Baker Bleu and Margaret, the indoor dining area is cosy and comfortable, with marble-top tables and an open bar and kitchen.

    We enjoyed an early casual Saturday night dinner at Next Door Double Bay. The service, food and wine were all very good, and the menu was varied. At $100 a head including three glasses of wine, it is a bit more than a spot for a quick neighbourhood meal, but we could have ordered less food and it is significantly better than the other options in the area.

    Unfortunately one of our waitresses was very dismissive. She therefore got some of the order wrong. She was so unpleasant but fortunately others made up for it.

    Food is good value but unfortunately our waiter (waitress) was very poor- complaining about other colleagues in front of us and clearing tables before we had finished dishes. This is completely unacceptable.

    The prawn cutlets were a real step back in time and the chilli mayo that accompanied them was out of this world. Loved the ceviche and the minute steak was heavenly.

    No better place to celebrate an early Mother’s Day than lunch at Next Door on a glorious Sydney day. Entrees of ceviche and Spencer Gulf prawn cutlets, a gorgeous bottle of Riesling and our favourite Cheeseburger, Coral Trout and Osso Buco mains. First class servicefrom the wonderful duo of Oliver and Ellie ensured a perfect outing. We never fail to be impressed…thank you for having us 💖
