Great experience - Edit
Had my birthday dinner here and not only was the food great, they were very accomodating with serving my own vegan cake I brought in. All my non veg friends had their expectations surpassed!! Also really nice vibe at night, love the atmosphere of the restaurant

High end vegan dining - Edit
My non vegan friend and I had a lovely experience for lunch at Yellow. The indoor seating with café style vibe tables and the ambiance was lovely. The taste of the dishes grew on us after 2-3 bites. We didn’t go with the tasting menu and ordered 2 different dishes from each category to share. The polenta chip snack was delicious (one of my faves). Customer service was perfect!

Pros: Plates & cutlery changes after each dish, 10-11 minutes walk from Kings Cross station , Scented candle, hand towels & hand balm in toilet
Cons: Small portions for a high price, Outdoor seating would probably be nicer at night

You won't be disappointed - Edit
This place is all known for a reason. Worth trying the BBQ beetroot - I was unsure beforehand, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

Delicious celebratory meal - Edit
Incredible food and environment. Lovely to have a proper fancy meal and explanations of each course, with real thought gone into each dish, which you often don't get at meat focused fancy restaurants where veggies are an after thought!
Read moreWe did find ourselves a little hungry afterwards however, but may also be us as quite active people.
Staff are very knowledgeable and actively ask about allergies/restrictions and so on. Also good at explaining the specials.
Felt the wine pairing was expensive, it would have doubled our bill which we don't think is quite right, so we didn't go for this.
A must book in Sydney, especially for a celebration.

3.5 stars; nice experience but room to improve - Edit
Definitely a fine dining experience and a good idea for special occasions. Food was unique inventive and polished. However things that could be better include: 1. fine dining can be fine without the pretentiousness. Would be nice if the staff had smoother and softer engagement. 2. Wasn’t stuffed by the end and didn’t love the biggest course was just a big slab of beetroot. 3. Didn’t love idea and option of add ons; felt like a fast food place trying to get me to supersize my meal. I’m already paying a premium, don’t try to upsell me just so I can feel full. 4. The ambiance was nice, but a bit crowded. Compared to the now closed alibi, where it felt like you were in your own world, this experience was a bit claustrophobic.
Read moreAll that to say, it is still a special experience that is very nice to have in Sydney. But for costing more than 3x as much as many other vegan set menus, the highest standard is to be expected.

Perfect engagement celebration venue - Edit
My partner proposed to me yesterday on a beautiful sunny day in Sydney. He brought us here in the evening to celebrate the occasion which ticked every box imaginable. This is a wonderful dining experience that anyone should try at least once. Here is an establishment with outstanding food, an excellent wine menu, knowledgeable staff and remarkable venue all at another level of superb. Thank you for making our evening memorable.

Shame - Edit
The obligatory one star for being plant based is well earnt and another for the items on the menu. The disapointment and dismay experienced due to the dormancy of the facade and the charade of the fine dining experience whilst seated amongst mouldy ruins that I guess were meant to accentuate the experience or maybe made a statement back in the future when people would go anywhere if the food is good only had me thinking that the BENTLEY GROUP didn't respect the type of customer this gimmick attracts (or is it all part of the initiation) to the extent to pay the decorators.

Pros: An extra $9 lions mane mushrooms, Exquisite Foraging for Berries Tea, My wife said that they '-do a good handsoap'

Superb fine dining and wine pairing - Edit
It doesn't get much better than this. It's rare enough to find a vegan fine dining option, but Yellow is particularly special and good. The food is creative, diverse, well-portioned, healthy, and delicious. The ambiance and service is excellent but not too uptight. The wine pairing is one of the best and most unique we've ever had. The price is not cheap but is a much better value given the portions and quality compared to other fine dining experiences.
Read morePros: All vegan plant based, Awesome food, wine, service, and atmosphere, Good value for fine dining

Novelty food - Edit
Good food, wasn’t blown away. Sommelier was very knowledgeable. Fun experience for a one off. Probably wouldn’t rush back as I prefer more cheap and cheerful food.

Excellent - Edit
A fine dining restaurant serving a six course menu. Fully vegan. A large variety of drinks on the menu as well! Went here for my birthday and they gave a complimentary cake! Excellent hospitality and the servers explained every dish very well. As my first fine dining experience, I would highly recommend this! The food has so many different flavours and textures!

Absolutely Fantastic Food - Edit
Booked a table at Yellow for a special occasion and we weren't disappointed. From start to finish we were well looked after by the very attentive waiting staff.
Read moreThe tasting menu was divine, fresh and clean tasting food. Each course was stunning and the flavours were out of this world. Absolutely loved the Mushroom Skewer, I could eat a whole plate of those.
I've been wanting to try this place for a while and very glad that we did as the food is superb.
Cons: Not vegan owned/not a vegan company.

Lovely high end restaurant. Nice flavours. It would be good if they used more protein as the meals are not very filling.

Artful food, prepare to wait - Edit
The food was very good and artful. The wine selection was nice and I enjoyed the ambience. I wish they'd either include the ala carte items in the regular menu or not have them. Also the service was very slow. I waited 25 minutes for one dish and 10-15 minutes was not uncommon.

Highly skilled - Edit
Overall a great spot with awesome ambience, staff, and… well, food.
Read moreI’m only giving it four stars since we went on NYE and the tasting menu for that night felt like a letdown; the level of skill on display does make me suspect it’d be a five star rating from me if we went on a normal night.
Pros: Great wine options

A brilliant set menu with a sensational movement of flavor
Read moreevery step was delicious and unique, the additional food items were a must. We chose the wine pairings and Sam did a wonderful job of narrating our wines which were exquisite!!. It was one of two top vegan restaurant experiences in 17 years … the other one is Shizen in SFO
Pros: food & wines!, staff, ambience

Very unique, fine dining experience. - Edit
It’s pretty cool to see how they do so many unique dishes with only vegetables and no mock meats or other mock animal products. Everything is delicious, but weird at the same time. The service was out of this world phenomenal, the best I’ve ever had.. but the price is a big killer for me and it’s a once in a lifetime kinda place to enjoy for sure.

Outstanding, inventive, truly extraordinary food - Edit
I've been vegan for more than 35 years, chasing the best vegan meals in any city I visit. I can honestly say that I have never had a better or more creative meal than the tasting menu at Yellow in Sydney. The chef combined flavors into unique inventions, each bite even better than the last. Ingredients were as fresh and healthy as they were delicious. Fine dining at its best, with attention to detail.
Read moreMy companion especially loved the atmosphere - a cozy, uncrowded corner with subdued lighting and jazz playing. We arrived when the restaurant opened, which we recommend if you want to beat the crowd.
Pros: Inventive menu, Chef is a genius!, Delightful and helpful staff
Cons: no cons
