About this place The Sanderson Sydney

The Sanderson is a restaurant and bar in Sydney's CBD. You get in from Wynyard Lane, behind 285 George Street, a few steps from Wynyard station. Prices are mid-range, the room is modern, and it rates 4.7 on Google from over 400 reviews, with food and service the most common points of praise. It is a mainstream venue that welcomes gay customers, not a gay venue. The lane entrance is easy to miss, so look for it off Wynyard Lane rather than on the George Street frontage. It is busiest with the after-work office crowd. Sydney's gay bars are on Oxford Street in Darlinghurst and in Newtown, both a short ride away.

Amazing food. Beef tartare was so good! I loved the fish of the day (Snapper) and the steak was delicious! 🤤 Great service and 100% will come back next time! Keep up the good work!

Food was nice, our waitress Rosie(I believe her name is) she was absolutely incredible, but there was a lady working in black with curly hair, glasses and her attitude killed my vibe, bad for business.

We continued our 42 wedding anniversary celebration with lunch at The Sanderson and so glad we did. The perfect choice from start to finish it was amazing. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. The food is off the charts and with wine list is second to none. Treats like oysters and caviar, bone marrow and amazing beef tartare. I highly recommend The Sanderson for any occasion.
