North Sydney Menu
Menus
Created by Executive Chef Matias Cillóniz and Head Chef Keith Dsouza, RAFI North Sydney’s menu is fresh and seasonal, inspired by the coastal elements of Sydney, along with the abundance of colourful produce available to the region. Sustainably sourced seafood and vegetables are cooked over charcoal, presented on small plates for you to mix and match different combinations of dishes.
Bright and creative cocktails sit alongside a handpicked selection of local beers on tap, and a well-constructed wine list, featuring a strong representation of local wineries by the glass. Wines have been carefully selected by Applejack’s Group Sommelier and cocktails are masterminded by RAFI Bar Manager Gian-Carlos Anderson.
RAFI North Sydney kitchen is open from –
Monday to Saturday: 12pm – 3pm | 5:30pm – 9pm
Sunday – 12pm – 3:30pm
*We cater for most dietary requirements. Whilst all reasonable efforts are taken to accommodate dietary needs, we cannot guarantee that our food will be allergen free. Prices and items are subject to seasonal changes.

A note on sustainability…
The concept behind RAFI’s cocktail program is simple – to create minimal to no waste whilst also executing delicious and unique drinks.
By choosing seasonal fruits we have contributed to relieving demand on Australian farmers, receiving optimal quality of produce, minimising over supply in the market as well as utilising ‘imperfect picks’, partnering with local fruit vendors.
Working with our neighbouring Applejack venues, we can give another life to some produce otherwise destined for the bin, by implementing modern sustainable techniques throughout the menu, creating riffs in a few of the world’s best classic cocktails.
