Firehouse Hotel

In the heritage listed fire station of North Sydney, Firehouse Hotel offers a cosy escape for good food in warm, welcoming surrounds. Refurbished with soft glowing chandeliers, padded olive booths, low hanging lights and round timber tables, Firehouse’s classic interior is a fitting setting for both intimate evenings and lively groups, aptly resonating an easy laid back vibe. Taking bistro style dining up a notch or two with a trendy edge, dishes are a tantalising mix of classic favourites and current trends with fine local produce. Begin with entrees like crispy Szechuan calamari with green papaya salad and lime mayonnaise before a dish to quash ravenous hunger such as pork cutlets with potato and herb croquette, red slaw, rocket, sun-dried tomato, pecorino, apple puree and port jus.
