Fully vegan fine dining - Edit
We had an amazing night at Yellow. The food was inventive, creative and delicious. The staff was great and very attentive without being intrusive.
Read moreThe restaurant is fully vegan.
The atmosphere is relaxed. This is a great place for date night, special occasions or simply treat yourself.
The menu changes every few months, which is exciting.
You can select a wine pairing or non-alcoholic pairing (with creative and tasty "cocktails" and drinks). We tried both and they were well matched to the food and added to the experience.
We loved all our dishes and can't wait to return.

Pretty good - Edit
Lovely restaurant, nice ambiance, although tables are somewhat tightly squeezed together and personal space is limited. The tasting menu was decent, however there is definetly space for improvement in terms of menu design as well as timing of the dishes. We found some dishes interesting whereas others were disappointing. The menu seems to change quite frequently and while the online menu showed brunt cabbage as one of the mains, we were served a slice of beetroot instead which was ok but not really refined enough for a fine dining tasting menu. The cultured cashew and the smoked carrot were well crafted, but unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the gnudi which were just bland and looked like fish balls in water which I didn’t find very appetising to look at. The desserts were ok but nothing to rave about. We also found the champagne & sparkling wine list disappointing, but apparently it also changes quite often.
Read moreWe were seated at 8pm which unfortunately meant that staff started cleaning the restaurant at one point and the pace of dishes coming out declined. On multiple occasions we ended up waiting 15 minutes or more for the next course even though the restaurant was nearly empty at the time. By the end of our 3 hour dining experience our energy was drained and we were glad we could finally leave.
All in all the experience is not the best in the universe like some local folk describe, but it’s pretty good. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back although I would definitely try to get an earlier seating.

So creative, fun! Definitely worth the indulgence once a year. - Edit
Creative flavors, impressive combinations. I read the menu and felt like only half of it would actually interest me, but I liked everything except for the beetroot, which I would strongly suggest to cut out of the menu, because nothing there felt any special at all. The most surprising option, the vanilla ice cream and caramel popcorn, definitely deserves a mention, and the appetizer potpourri... Wow! I could eat a whole platter of the blini with chimichurri sprouts. Yes, it might look like you're paying your weight to eat some pieces of vegetable, but just keep an open mind and let the combinations surprise you. Great staff, great ambiance as well. Only downside, you only get one option: the whole menu.
Read morePros: Very creative, Chill ambiance, Super friendly staff
Cons: Expensive, yes., Only one option, the 8-step menu.

Nice spot - Edit
Yellow is a lovely little spot with a great seasonal menu. For the summer menu there were a couple of optional dishes which included a side and post dinner course, both of which were delicious and added a nice level of fullness to the tasting menu. The popcorn, vanilla caramel dish was absolutely delicious and the roast vegetable oil with sourdough is fab. We got a bottle of oil to go and it’s a real treat. #Veganuary

And it was all... - Edit
(Protip: This doesn't work like a regular restaurant)
Read moreReally nice vibe. Excellent spot for a date if you don’t mind the price, which will be over $200 before drinks.
The room filled up as the night went on and did get a bit loud and crowded, but that may have just been my timing.
Set tasting menu was fun. Not necessarily all good. Not necessarily anything I'd want again. But the experience was decent.
Pros: Concept food...
Cons: ...Not real food

True vegan fine dining - Edit
We have been to Yellow a number of times over the years and it is always at a high world level standard. We have been to many great vegan and vegetarian restaurants in different places around the world and this would have to be number one! If you want a great night out and a lovely setting with impeccable service and superb vegan food then this is it. We have taken a number of friends and visitors here and they all loved it.

How I’ve missed fine dining… - Edit
Since going vegetarian and then Vegan, fine dining on special occasions has been depressingly impossible (or at least a waste of money). Yellow is expensive as you’d expect, but such excellent value for money. The matched wines are an extravagance, and not necessary to enjoy the food. The food is divine.
Read moreUpdated from previous review on 2022-01-09
Pros: Everything is vegan, They happily catered for a soy-allergic friend , A proper fancy fine dining experience
Cons: The matched wines are too much alcohol for me, The price is high, but value for money, So much food, and all vegan!

vegan bistro with tasting menu - Edit
If you are looking for a vegan fine dining experience, Yellow is the place to go. They often have guest chefs, coming for just one night and create a fantastic tasting menu with wine pairing. We have had the opportunity to dine there several times and every time it was excellent food as well as excellent service.

A delightful degustation experience - Edit
A friend recommended this place in Potts Point. As a couple with differing diet preferences, my partner and I both agree that their set menu is just beautiful and delicious. We picked the 7- course menu (the other option was 5), and just marvelled at how each dish was worthy of being ranked our favourite. We recommend this place to anyone who wants to showcase the brilliance of plant-based food or to anyone who simply wants to have a nice dinner out in Sydney.

Neville is cool - Edit
The seven course tasting menu was delightful and it was an absolute pleasure to dine at this restaurant!! Although my boyfriend and I are used to much more frugal and casual dining experiences, this topped the lot of fine dining, and we would recommend to any vegos looking for the pampered experience. Service is also a strength of this establishment, a cast of characters prepared to provide you with a fun, easygoing, and seamless night, shout out to Neville once again, sorry if we are bein clingy. We were also given a signed menu by many staff members on leaving for some reason, just for being homies really.

Fantastic food - Edit
The menu is vegetarian, so make sure to tell the waiter if you are vegan and they will substitute eggs or any other animal product.
Read moreThey recommended 2 dishes per person, so I had the Tortilla, Eggplant, Pumpkin, and Shitake Mushroom dishes.
The Tortilla was fantastic and the Shitake Mushroom was out of this world.
Pros: Tons of Vegan options, Great Wine Selection, Nice atmosphere
Cons: A little pricey

A real celebration of the ingrediants - Edit
A really interesting setting, very knowledgable staff and wonderful food that really celebrates the ingredients and treated with respect.
Read moreI was on my own and the dishes are normally designed for sharing. They did half portions for me so I could try a variety of dishes. Would highly recommend the pea dish. Surprised me and was just utterly delicious. All the food is presented really well. Looking forward to my next trip to Sydney.

Lighten up Yellow! - Edit
Fabulous food – the chef here is a genius with vegetables. Flavours and textures will surprise and delight all palates.
Read moreGoldilocks service, not intrusive, not neglectful – just right.
My only gripe really is the lighting – if you have even the slightest visual impairment it's too dark to read the menu, let alone see the full glory of what's on your plate. Which is a shame when the presentation is so good. BYO torch.
Pros: Gorgeous food
Cons: Very dim lighting

Delightful vegan fine dining - Edit
We celebrated our anniversary at Yellow with the 7 course vegan tasting menu and matching wines. This was very pricey, but honestly the most amazing fine dining experience. The best place in Sydney for a vegan or vegetarian to celebrate! Each course was an incredible experience, with creative and intricate flavors. There are multiple price points (5 versus 7 course, include wine or not). I recommend including the matching wine, it definitely enhanced the overall experience, and Elle, our sommelier (who went off book) was excellent. Be sure to confirm your reservation beforehand (our original reservation, made online, didn’t go through, but we were able to make a new reservation for a better time via phone the morning of).
