  • Good for groups
  • Hot spot
Song Bird delivers an exceptional culinary experience, celebrating the vibrant flavours of Modern Asian cuisine. Drawing inspiration from China, Japan, Korea, and Thailand, the menu is designed for sharing—a reflection of Neil’s deep appreciation for Southeast and Northeast Asian culinary traditions. Committed to fresh, locally sourced, premium ingredients, Song Bird offers a dining experience that is both elevated and authentic.

Situated in Sydney’s Double Bay and set over three levels, Song Bird exudes a sophisticated yet welcoming ambience. Housed in the heritage-listed 1960’s masterpiece ‘Gaden House’, designed by architect the late Neville Gruzman, Song Bird's interior immerses guests in contemporary elegance with a subtle nod to Chinese sensibilities.

Neil Perry AM is one of Australia’s leading and most influential chefs. He has been the Food, Beverage & Service Director at QANTAS for 25+years, creating one of the best dining experiences in the sky.

    Portions weren’t that big, calamari was tough. Looking forward to the restaurant being Italian and moderately priced.

    Songbird is awesome, it really is a crying shame it's closing. There's very few really good cantonese joints around and Songbird is definitely one of the better ones. There's an obvious level of care coming from the kitchen. Get in there while you still can.

    I am a great fan of Neil Perry and I realised this may be the last chance to savour his excellent asian cuisine at Songbird before it closes. It was great - the food, the service, and all were outstanding. The wine suggestions by the wait staff were excellent. I hope the new venture works out well
