Private Chef’s Kitchen

Experience RAFI’s Private Chef’s Kitchen

Featuring a kitchen and bar set-up away from the main restaurant, Chef’s Kitchen provides an intimate private dining experience in North Sydney.

Our Chef’s Kitchen offers the perfect setting for an exclusive dining experience, accommodating 12 guests seated or 30 for cocktail-style events.

The in-room kitchen allows for a fully immersive experience, guided by one of our skilled RAFI chefs. Enjoy our expertly crafted banquet menu, featuring highlights such as South Coast Tuna, Glacier 51 toothfish, and Jack’s Creek Angus rib-eye – prepared table side and fresh off the grill respectively, with the option to add on wine pairings curated by our Sommelier, Greg Burley. For a tailored experience, add a RAFI chef to your booking for an additional fee and enjoy personalised service throughout your event.

Reach out to our events team for further details: events@rafisydney.com.au.

The space can also play host to interactive cocktail demonstrations and masterclasses with one of our leading bartenders. See below for what’s on this season in our Chef’s Kitchen.

Chef’s Kitchen – Spritz Garden

We’ve teamed up with Aperol, turning our Chef’s Kitchen into a dedicated spritz bar for the season.

Whether you’re stretched out on our outdoor lounges, perched at the bar, rounding up the work crew for a well-earned drink, or simply toasting to a week well spent – we invite you to make us your go-to spot for the ritual of North Sydney’s golden hours.

Clock off early for happy hour prices from 4pm to 6pm, with our spritz line-up poured in the best courtyard in North Sydney. Then stay on for live music every Thursday from 5pm, played from The Pass, the Chef’s Kitchen window looking straight out over the Spritz Garden.

Our Spritz Bar will be open Thurs & Fri from 4:30pm and Saturday from 2pm.
