Pony Lounge & Dining – The Rocks revisited (Sydney)

We visited Pony at The Rocks on a summer night. Compared to our last visit, it was raining heavily and we found a nice refuge along the communal table, right below the heaters.

Their small plates again made a great start to the meal. The mozzarella complimented well with the salsa and the frittata packed with flavour. While I enjoyed the blue eye cod with potato crust main course, I wished there was something to cut through the oily mustard sauce to balance the dish.

We enjoyed the special dessert. Caramelised figs and chocolate worked well with the French toast.

Pony Lounge & Dining (Neutral Bay)

We visited Pony at Neutral Bay for breakfast, our second visit to the group after our dinner at Pony The Rocks earlier this year.

The food was flawless and innovative. We definitely found the dishes to be a step up from the typical big breakfast served at many cafes in the north shore. The Spanish omelette was perfectly seasoned and well balanced by the rocket leaves, while the toasted brioche worked perfectly with the poached berries and custard curd. Service felt slightly rushed considered the need of a slow Sunday breakfast.

Pony Lounge & Dining – The Rocks (Sydney)

Dining among the laneways at Pony The Rocks provided a comfortable refuge from the buzz of the summer Friday night markets. Eating on a long, ‘communal’ table didn’t compromise on privacy rather it provided a more casual setting. Accompanied by the summer breeze it was a near perfect setting.

The menu catered well for both meat eaters and vegetarians. The small plate starters for sharing, such as blanched asparagus with ricotta and salsa verde, were simple and flavourful. Portion size of main courses was generous and I thoroughly enjoyed my marble 7 wagyu rump special.
