Ate, laughed, talked and drank on New Years Eve at Bishop Sessa for the second year. Embarking to 2018 with beautiful food, well matched wine and helpful service was a great way to start. Thankyou for helping us create a family memory with a fabulous dining experience .
I absolutely love the food, it's so tasty and differant to your food in lots of restaurants, and their wine cellar is amazing, will be comming back when I visit Sydney again �
Amazing food. The bread and Chefs appetiser is always awesome. Great attentive staff who leave you to enjoy your chats and meals. Great wine list which are usually very tasty (just a little expensive for middle of the road wines)
We have been here a few times and the food was, as always, awesome.
The new menu is spectacular and a bit different. You have to try it.
Great matching wines and the service super friendly as always.
Love this place
Amazing food, incredible wine, outstanding service, all for a great price! I've been to excellent (also famous and expensive) restaurants in and outside of Australia, and honestly Bishop Sessa is up there in the top 5!! Maybe even top 3!! We had the 6 course degustation with matching wines, every single dish was to die for. My highlights are the king fish ceviche and the duck lasagne. Incredible! Would go back again tomorrow and the next day! :)
We had the degustation with matched wines, with a group of 10 for a birthday. The service, food, and atmosphere was fantastic. Everybody loved their dishes, full of flavour and a nice twist on traditional dishes.
Restaurant lived up to our expectations. Excellent food and service. Great place, well presented and relaxed atmosphere thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Definitely worth going to.
Nothing to fault with this restaurant. Food and service was excellent. Well done guys definately coming back again and reccomending to friends and family 😀
Brilliant place for dinner. The staff are absolutely lovely and attentive. The food is very good value, and beautiful quality, presentation and flavours. Highly recommend
This is my forth time. I love wine paring course menu. For this time, I thought that dolce was a bit too rich and could not finish them all. (After all the meat dish, I think I'd prefer fresh gelato with sherry or espresso with chocolate cake without peanut butter ice cream...) But we had a good time.
We had our work Xmas party there over th weekend, as always the food was first class with the service to match!! Erez is a first class operator and he knows how to give the rock star treatment to every single one of his guests. Can't wait to go back again and again!! I recommend the Bishop highly to everyone, an experience that must be had.
This restaurant does a wonderful degustation menu that is well balanced in flavours, portion size and timing, coupled with great service.
Highly recommend for a special occasion -highlights include the scallop ceviche sorbet, the duck and the pre-dessert! The Alacarte is also good if you aren't in it for the long haul. Comprehensive wine list.
Beautiful, creative food and wonderful service. I have been coming here for more than five years and the team at Bishop Sessa never fail to make my guests and I feel special.
Excellent food we love the degustation menu also reasonably priced. Wine list is comprehensive but not pretentious. All the staff are attentive, respectful and efficient. Highly recommend for groups and romantic lunches. Toilet is on first floor up tight staircase so couldn't recommend for disabled.
We visited Bishop Sessa twice now. First on a date night, and we had such a great time we returned with a large table of friends to try their degustation menu.
Both visits were an unqualified success. On our date night we ordered from the menu and every dish was flawless, with the charcuterie board for two an absolute stand out, and the duck breast was simply divine with its crispy skin and juicy, tender meat.
The degustation menu was also a stand out – we are still getting compliments from our friends for taking them to Bishop Sessa.
Dear Bishop Sessa team, we came on Friday night (group of 7) for the degustation menu. Each course was fantastic with delicious balanced matching wines. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. It was great value for money. Thank you for the birthday attention that you did for our friend when you served the dessert. We will come back for sure and spread the word about your wonderful restaurant. We had such a great time that we were the last ones to leave!
So delicious!! The kitchen accommodated a pescaterian on our table in the degustation. Each course was a knockout dish and the wines really interesting and varied! Wait staff so lovely and attentive! Somehow walked out after 9 courses!
Amazing food, awesome staff and service! Hubby and I had the degustation menu, I had advised them I am pregnant everything was well cooked and prepared for me! 10/10 for sure
Been here a few times actually, but visited last night after a long while. Food was still phenomenal as the last visit, and kudos to the friendly staff that accommodated a little 8 month old princess. Not sure if babies come in a lot, but she certainly loved the duck fat chips! My girl friends loved the wagyu! Also, pate on the charcuterie board was a stand out.
My daughter and son in law took us there for a degustation meal and we loved every mouthful of food we had. Have talked about the wonderful experience we had there. We are from Melbourne. Great service as well :)
We did the degustation, it really makes for a wonderful experience when The food is amazing and they match up brilliantly with delicious and balanced wines. Thanks Erez, we'll be back
Thank you so much for a great night at your Autumn Dinner. Food wine service and atmosphere where all amazing! Esp loved the mushroom dish. Will be back!
Surry Hills has lots of great places to eat and this is certainly one of the best. The food, staff & ambiance are all spot on, feel so lucky to have such a great restaurant within walking distance!!
Went to sydney specifically for this culinary experience and it did not let us down. Chef paul cooper provides a flavour and dining horripilation that makes every dish complimentary and discrete from course to course. The wine list is prodigious with many offered from around world as well as indigenous and australian varieties. All of these have been specifically selected to compliment the delectable menu. The service is nothing short of exemplary with humour thrown in to make the sophisticated dining experience more light hearted and fun. Do yourself a favour, leave the children at home put aside an evening and immerse yourself in the culinary experience that is bishop sessa. The best food I have ever had!
This is seriously (without being serious) the best restaurant in Sydney if you love food.
Between Chef Paul Cooper and Erez Gordon we have been provided amazing evenings on all of the five times we have eaten here - I ❤️Duck & Pinot being the favourite - give them a call and get in there for either one of there 'themed' nights or just a (not so) standard dinner.
You will enjoy!
Finally managed to get myself into this friendly joint to enjoy one of the most perfectly cooked Aylesbury duck breasts I've ever consumed! The ingredients in ALL dishes are supremely selected. I made my booking by inboxing their FB with an immediate reply and happy to accommodate. Highly recommended. Happy days
I had my hens night at Bishop Sessa last weekend and it was absolutely divine! The evening was perfect from the moment I walked in to the end :) The restaurant organised a set menu for us with a variety of choices for each course to cater for 20 girls. The staff were very attentive and polite, the ambience was beautiful and the food was delicious! Highly recommend :)
Had the most incredible dinner last night! (Maybe a little bias) the service was great, the drinks where incredible (try the 'Agro-Bianco'... It was orgasmic) and the FOOD!!!! Let's just say my husband was happy to leave this world after eating the pork.... Well done team! Thanks so very much for yet another gorgeous meal from Chef Paul Cooper, Miss Briony Bradford and the crew!
Thank you Bishop Sessa team for hosting my husbands 40th birthday dinner. The 6 course degustation was impeccable and the wines well matched to each course. The staff had just the right balance of availability when you needed them and obsequiousness when you didn't - nothing was too much trouble. We definitely plan to come back!
A guardian of character and an ordained member of ambience.
I have visited Bishop Sessa several times over the past few years, and have always held it in high regard. We visited again a few nights ago and were relieved more than anything, that a restaurant we had loved, was still alive, kicking and full of vim and vigour. Bishop's ambience is reminiscent of our days wandering the streets of Paris, finding unique dining experiences with a buzz in the air and a wonderful atmosphere. I would highly recommend for a reasonably priced, finer dining experience. My only sour point was that one of our waitresses was a little on the chilly side. The other was great.

This is my favourite restaurant in Sydney. The food is amazing and the cocktails are dangerous. The staff here are incredible. They know their wine list sooo well. I recommend coming on Tuesdays or Wednesday for the 3 course for 50 dollars. Such good value.
