The Tilbury Brings Mediterranean Refinement to Woolloomooloo
Sydney’s heritage pub-meets-restaurant The Tilbury is all about Italian-inspired Mediterranean cuisine, craft cocktails, and that perfect Woolloomooloo energy.
Nestled in the heart of Woolloomooloo, just off the iconic Finger Wharf, The Tilbury is the latest reinvention from this heritage-listed venue. Think: seasonal Mediterranean dishes, expertly crafted cocktails, and a beautiful beer garden that feels like stepping into a European courtyard. It’s sophisticated yet relaxed, designed for long lunches and memorable nights out.
The food celebrates Italian traditions with contemporary Australian twists. The kind of place where you come for a quick drink, stay for dinner, and probably plan your next visit before you leave.
- And don’t forget about dessert! Pistachio Crème Brulee with Chocolate Tuille for the sweet tooth, Poached Pear, Granola, Date Puree & Mulled Wine Ice Cream for those who like their dessert chilled, or Belgian Chocolate Fondant, Honeycomb, Raspberries & Cinnamon Ice Cream for those really wanting to satisfy that chocolate craving.
- What to Eat: Salmon Poke & Burrata with Mediterranean flavours, and Steak Sandwich with rosemary fries that’s both huge and Instagram-worthy. Sunday Roast with Yorkshire pudding and house-made red jus.
- What to Drink: Classic Spicy Margaritas crafted in-house every Friday, or The $12 Sunday Spritz – perfect for ending the weekend right.
- When to Go: Ideal for Tuesday pasta nights with complimentary wine, after-work drinks in the heritage beer garden, or weekend brunches that stretch into the afternoon.
- Cost: Tuesday pasta special $30 (with wine), group dining $85pp, cocktails ~$15-20, happy hour beers/wines $7.
- Vibe Check: Heritage pub meets Mediterranean sophistication, Scandi-inspired interiors, frangipani-filled courtyard, and zero Woolloomooloo pretension.
