chester white cured diner

a very small cosy restaurant with super cool staff and amazing food! i loved the truffle cheese wheel spaghetti with the chilli paste the serve with it! their carbonara and gnocchi was pretty good - needed a bit more flavour in my opinion.

chester white cured diner is all about. charcuterie, outstanding pastas and more. the interior has a diner and vintage. look with high seats and tables, counter seatings, and seatings by the porch.

tiny, hipster and good:). my man told me he can't cook without a glass of wine in one hand and that conversation led us to stop at chester white to have one, well, two actually, on the way to harris farm for some grocery shopping as he was planning to cook something nice for me for dinner.
it's a very nice little spot on orwell street, potts point. small bar, two guys with tattoos behind the bar mixing cocktails, preparing some quick meals and meat&cheese boards while having a conversation with you. it felt bit hipster looking at the two of them and the crowd but i guess that's what people are after now as the place was full.
we just had some wine and a meat board with cheese and pickles which was very reasonably priced and tasted good too. this place is a great spot on your way out on friday or saturday or just for a quick bite on your way home from work...or grocery shopping:)
these guys also have buffalo dining club in darlinghurst as they proudly told us. i've heard a lot good things about it and after the nice experience in chester white it is already on our to-try list.

my favourite carbonara ever!! also the truffle cheese wheel pasta is to die for. everything here has always been a treat. they make their own pickles and chilli sauce which are great accompaniments. tiny place so can be hard to get a table but worth the wait. will come back any day ❤️❤️

chester white cured diner is the sister restaurant to buffalo dining club, and although i had tried buffalo dining club some time ago, i was again in the mood to eat pasta out of a giant cheese wheel (is there any other mood?) and decided to try chester white for some sort of minor variation. in some sort of serendipitous coincidence, chester white recently started opening for brunch on saturdays and sundays, and it was about a week or two after this that i decided to come, having been turned down on a friday evening.

chester white is almost like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. fits about 30 diners at the one seating, so its always good to come early. we waited for about 30mins on a saturday which wasn't too bad.

seated at the front by the pavement we were presented with a simple a4 sized menu. ordered the two pastas from their menu and the cured meats. forgot the names of the cured meats but i'm pretty sure they got one wrong, unless salami is supposed to look like that.

definitely try their pastas! we enjoyed every mouthful and it was entertaining watching then present one in a wheel of cheese. the owners?waiters? were really friendly. they explained the menu to us and checked up on us throughout the night, even made small conversations.

even though the restaurant is small and the menu is simple, their food tastes great, they cook their pasta well, they have great pride in what they do and they make you want to dine again.

(added more photos, pasta still just as good as last time)

service was fantastic, the guys are really friendly and food comes out quickly at a good pace. food itself was incredible, salami was incredible! topped only by the cacio e pepe, genuinely my favourite meal!

i read lots of good reviews about your truffle pasta. unfortunately i have to give you 1 star for it.
my pasta was overcooked and cold!! this is because the chef pre cooks pasta, then leaves it aside and waits the order. then he warms pasta in the boiling water and serves it in cheese. pasta is not hot enough to melt the cheese and observe the flavour. won’t recommend it to people who looking for a true italian style pasta.
p.s i didn’t like that guy who washes dishes and cleans the bar helps the chef to serve pasta.

my experience at chester white was basically flawless. it’s hard to imagine anything similar tasting better, and the service was not far off perfection either. the only drawback is the strict no-bookings policy, but it’s clear that not many people are letting this stop them from eating here. not only am i keen to come back, it’s also made its way onto the elusive list of restaurants that’s spoken of in reverent, longing tones. queues be damned, this place is worth it.

was recommended this place by a friend and it lived up to expectations! great service, food and ambience. felt like we were eating at a local favourite.

simple, well done food done right!

absolutely loved this place tonight. all the staff were friendly and recommended some excellent dishes. had such a great experience here, can’t wait to come back

cannot recommend this place enough! we did have to wait in line for 30mins but it was so worth it. this place is well known for its pasta so of course we had to try it out!

we ordered their famous truffle cacio e pepe and ricotta gnocchi with wild mushroom ragu and wow they were incredible! the gnocchi was so soft and chewy, and the mushroom sauce was creamy and tasted absolutely delicious. their truffle cacio e pepe came with spaghetti noodles, salt and pepper, parsley, black truffles, served out of a sardinian truffled pecorino cheese wheel and it was so delicious! the cheese taste was very strong and nothing i had ever tried before. definitely worth the hype and is a must try!!

to be honest the portion sizes weren’t that big compared to the amount we were paying, but the flavour and quality of the pasta was 100% there!

chester white is the perfect location for a girls night. it’s located super close to the top bars in potts point and being seated at the bar is a fun experience to watch the waiters serve up their signature pasta from the cheese wheel.
the flavours of the pasta and cheese are divine.

amazing truffle pasta and definitely one of the best in sydney! service is usually outstanding, however have recently experienced unfriendly service with one of the waitresses there on two separate occasions.

this place is an absolute gem of a find. although a little bit squeeshy for a group of 5-6 the food here was absolutely exquisite. especially the pasta from a cheese wheel. a lot of the time we eat pastas that are drenched in sauce but with chester? it was the perfect balance - just the way i like it!
