With a focus on Australian wines and female wine makers, our wine list is bangin' (if we do say so ourselves).

Why not crack a bottle of nice winter red. Perhaps 'Knife Edge' Shiraz, made by Winemaker Sierra Reed, with notes of plush blue fruits with an earthy, savoury backbone. Or an 'infidels' Primitivo, with notes of moody dark fruits and lashings of cedar and spice.

A highlight from our Knock Offs menu - salty & tangy anchovy with caramelised onion on a buttery brioche. The best part is these beauties are only 8 bucks.

Available 5-6pm weekdays.

We are closed on Monday and Tuesday for a well deserved break. This only means one thing - you should really make the most of your long weekend and visit us for a cheeky bev and long lunch. You know you want to.

04/06/2024

From vineyard to your glass, we stock wines that are all about sustainability and local love - sourcing beauties like these from small Aussie producers. Perhaps it's time you discover a new favourite drop.

Rich and decadent our Koshihikari squid ink risotto is packed with flavour. The beautiful grilled squid and almond romesco on top ads a touch of lightness and smoke, making this dish a sure fire winner.

29/05/2024

Knock off and join us for the happiest hour in Surry Hills 🍸 Monday to Friday from 5-6pm.

21/05/2024

We made our name in the world of cocktails, so naturally, they are an important part of Dead Ringer. What's your go-to?

17/05/2024

Stuffed piquillo pepper, crab remoulade and nduja. It's creamy with a hint of spice - just how we like it.

15/05/2024

Not that you needed a reminder, but this is your sign to book in your next boozy bottomless long lunch with your crew.

13/05/2024

These soft pillows of gnocchi are already incredible, but topping them with salty and plump anchovies just takes it up a notch.

10/05/2024

Our terrace 🤝 your pets. Cosy up with your mates (furry or not) next time you visit and share some plates and laughs at DR.

Looking for a good time? We're coming in hot with our char-grilled kingfish. We think the cheek is the best bit - it's juicy, it's messy and has a nice hum of spice from the dusting of Aleppo pepper.

Now the only question is... who's tackling the eye?

30/04/2024

Dig into our smoked salmon with whipped sour cream dish on our Mother's Day menu. If you're drooling over this, wait until you check out the rest of the menu. Mum will love it.

Strawberry peppercorn spritzes are a DR favourite for a reason - light and refreshing with that subtle reminder of Summer in every sip.

Our Story

We are 3 mates who have all spent most of our working lives working in hospitality all around the globe but have been particularly influenced by restaurant & bars in Melbourne and London.

To us Modern Australian means mixing European kitchen technique, mediterranean hospitality, with the types of bold flavours you might expect from Pan-Asian cuisine, all served it in a typically casual aussie, family-dining setting.

We are located in a heritage townhouse just off Taylor Square at the axis of Paddington, Darlinghurst and Surry Hills. The restaurant features comfortable counter-top dining, a garden terrace and an intimate dining room, also available for private hire.

Our popular boozy brunch runs every Saturday & Sunday morning to 3pm. Every week for one day, we focus entirely on local produce in vegetarian and vegan dishes on our Meat Free Monday.
