Sebastian’s Food & Wine

There’s a knack to making fine food unfussy. Sebastian’s menu has it, offering many familiar dishes made with carefully sourced ingredients. Corn fritters bookend smoked salmon spiked with avocado salsa. A crowd-pleasing avocado-feta smash is helped by crunchy wholegrain toast and just-picked mint. Coffees are punchy and cakes hard to pass - try a flourless orange. Share-plates, maybe mushroom-and-water chestnut wontons or beef-brisket slider, and focused mains (teriyaki burger or eggplant risotto) sit nicely with a handful of clever wines. With its leafy courtyard and smart fitout, Sebastian’s has the knack for fine, unfussy fitouts too.
