And it was all... - Edit
(Protip: This doesn't work like a regular restaurant)
Read moreReally nice vibe. Excellent spot for a date if you don’t mind the price, which will be over $200 before drinks.
The room filled up as the night went on and did get a bit loud and crowded, but that may have just been my timing.
Set tasting menu was fun. Not necessarily all good. Not necessarily anything I'd want again. But the experience was decent.
Pros: Concept food...
Cons: ...Not real food

What an experience - Edit
Had the set menu it was amazing from the bursts of flavour to the timing when dishes came out. I look forward to coming back next season when they switch the menu!

Delicious but insufficient - Edit
When I arrived at Yellow it was just the ambience I wanted, dimly lit with eclectic decor. We were seated in a corner, which was sort of nice, although it was a bit tight and I felt somewhat pressed up against the wall when things were brought to the table. Our waiter/sommelier was wonderful, as were all the staff. However, for me this was one occasion in which the components of the degustation, while almost universally delicious, didn’t quite add up to a full stomach. Much of the food had me making exclamations of delight - the sourdough and olive oil, the polenta and the pistachio ice cream spring to mind - but it was all so dainty. Obviously I know the risks when I embark on a degustation, but I do always hope it will be both delicious and satisfying. Really it was only the dessert - because of the sugar - and the paired wine - because it filled up my stomach - that stopped me being hungry. I understand the focus of a degustation is on artistry and not volume, but in my experience it is possible to achieve both, important when the price is premium.

True vegan fine dining - Edit
We have been to Yellow a number of times over the years and it is always at a high world level standard. We have been to many great vegan and vegetarian restaurants in different places around the world and this would have to be number one! If you want a great night out and a lovely setting with impeccable service and superb vegan food then this is it. We have taken a number of friends and visitors here and they all loved it.

How I’ve missed fine dining… - Edit
Since going vegetarian and then Vegan, fine dining on special occasions has been depressingly impossible (or at least a waste of money). Yellow is expensive as you’d expect, but such excellent value for money. The matched wines are an extravagance, and not necessary to enjoy the food. The food is divine.

Pros: Everything is vegan, They happily catered for a soy-allergic friend , A proper fancy fine dining experience
Cons: The matched wines are too much alcohol for me, The price is high, but value for money, So much food, and all vegan!

vegan bistro with tasting menu - Edit
If you are looking for a vegan fine dining experience, Yellow is the place to go. They often have guest chefs, coming for just one night and create a fantastic tasting menu with wine pairing. We have had the opportunity to dine there several times and every time it was excellent food as well as excellent service.

Incredible! We’ve tried to come here a few times, but always have to cancel because of COVID. Had the 7 course and it was sooo good. The staff were very accomodating for allergies and so attentive. Can’t wait to go back!

A delightful degustation experience - Edit
A friend recommended this place in Potts Point. As a couple with differing diet preferences, my partner and I both agree that their set menu is just beautiful and delicious. We picked the 7- course menu (the other option was 5), and just marvelled at how each dish was worthy of being ranked our favourite. We recommend this place to anyone who wants to showcase the brilliance of plant-based food or to anyone who simply wants to have a nice dinner out in Sydney.

Neville is cool - Edit
The seven course tasting menu was delightful and it was an absolute pleasure to dine at this restaurant!! Although my boyfriend and I are used to much more frugal and casual dining experiences, this topped the lot of fine dining, and we would recommend to any vegos looking for the pampered experience. Service is also a strength of this establishment, a cast of characters prepared to provide you with a fun, easygoing, and seamless night, shout out to Neville once again, sorry if we are bein clingy. We were also given a signed menu by many staff members on leaving for some reason, just for being homies really.

7 course vegan degustation and wine pairing: this place is heavenly. All the dishes were sophisticated, the combination of flavours were complex and simply mind blowing. Perfect place for a romantic date or just to treat yourself.

Fantastic food - Edit
The menu is vegetarian, so make sure to tell the waiter if you are vegan and they will substitute eggs or any other animal product.
Read moreThey recommended 2 dishes per person, so I had the Tortilla, Eggplant, Pumpkin, and Shitake Mushroom dishes.
The Tortilla was fantastic and the Shitake Mushroom was out of this world.
Pros: Tons of Vegan options, Great Wine Selection, Nice atmosphere
Cons: A little pricey

A real celebration of the ingrediants - Edit
A really interesting setting, very knowledgable staff and wonderful food that really celebrates the ingredients and treated with respect.
Read moreI was on my own and the dishes are normally designed for sharing. They did half portions for me so I could try a variety of dishes. Would highly recommend the pea dish. Surprised me and was just utterly delicious. All the food is presented really well. Looking forward to my next trip to Sydney.

Lighten up Yellow! - Edit
Fabulous food – the chef here is a genius with vegetables. Flavours and textures will surprise and delight all palates.
Read moreGoldilocks service, not intrusive, not neglectful – just right.
My only gripe really is the lighting – if you have even the slightest visual impairment it's too dark to read the menu, let alone see the full glory of what's on your plate. Which is a shame when the presentation is so good. BYO torch.
Pros: Gorgeous food
Cons: Very dim lighting

Delightful vegan fine dining - Edit
We celebrated our anniversary at Yellow with the 7 course vegan tasting menu and matching wines. This was very pricey, but honestly the most amazing fine dining experience. The best place in Sydney for a vegan or vegetarian to celebrate! Each course was an incredible experience, with creative and intricate flavors. There are multiple price points (5 versus 7 course, include wine or not). I recommend including the matching wine, it definitely enhanced the overall experience, and Elle, our sommelier (who went off book) was excellent. Be sure to confirm your reservation beforehand (our original reservation, made online, didn’t go through, but we were able to make a new reservation for a better time via phone the morning of).

Went for dinner on 11 May 19 and went for the 7 course vegan degustation menu with matching wine. Pricey, but worth it! What an experience! Impeccable service, innovative and tasty food and wine matching was spot on. I will definitely go again! If you’re after some fine dining vegan or vegetarian experience, don’t hesitate!

Outstanding - Edit
Yellow was a delightful experience. From the online booking and follow up email, through to the greeting when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble and they seemed genuinely interested in making sure we had a nice evening.
Read moreThe food was beautifully presented, tasty with intricate flavours and textures. Really well thought through. I had the vegan degustation, while my partner had the vegetarian degustation. I thought it nice that we both didn't have to have the same. Timing was good between courses too.
Great experience, definitely somewhere to consider for a special occasion or a romantic meal. Not surprised they are rated as one of the top places in the world for vegan food!

We had the 5 course vegan degustation with matching wines. Overall, the food and wines were very nice. Just goes to show vegan doesn't mean boring. One of the pairings didn't quite work for me, but worth doing. Highlight was the service, our waitress was friendly and engaging.
