chester white cured diner

my experience at chester white was basically flawless. it’s hard to imagine anything similar tasting better, and theservicewas 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.

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

we visited chester white cured diner as we heard so much hyped about it. went there on monday afternoon for lunch with a high expectations, but let down with the poorserviceand the freshness of the food.

we ordered the two meats selection and added duck pate. meat selection was nice while the duck pate was a bit too overpowering (it has some weird taste to it). when the 2 meats selections arrived, there was no bread/ crackers to accompany the dish with. turns out the waitress was too busy chatting with other staff and forgot our bread that was being toasted in the oven. i had to get up personally and asked for the bread. when it came out, it was overly toasted and too crispy! (she didn't even offered to make another one or even apologise!).

we also ordered truffle cacio e pepe, which was brought to us with the infamous cheese wheel. we think it was mediocre, there wasn't much truffle taste to it. it was bland and dry (almost just like eating a boiled pasta with shaved cheese,a bit of salt & cracked pepper on top). maybe we were let down by the poor customerserviceat first, and it obviously affected on the second dish we had. it was monday afternoon and wasn't busy at all! overall experience was okay. the highlight was just the meats selections. definitely not going to come back.

it's a 5. i had been wanting to come here for 9 months because of rave reviews and let me tell you it did not disappoint. chester white is food meets a show pulled off in a homely manner.

theserviceis fantastic and so personable. by far the bestservicei have received. and the food. well. the cacio e pepe lived up to its expectation and proved that simple is best. the carbonara, gnocchi and platter were all full of flavour and so balanced. i could have double the amount of pasta to myself hands down. i will be returning without a doubt.

i was really worried about going to chester seeing as i had a bad experience at buffalo dining club but seriously this place impressed me. its a tiny crack in the wall so you will have to wait a while but defs worth it.servicewas great as well.
not your standard italian food but an aus version of... still amazing though.

if i was to give one piece of advice it would be to remove all the buffalo dining restaurants, cause they stink, and replace them with this.

yes that's a five star review! i mean why wouldn't it be?! from the ministry we called to book and they took our number for the waitlist, and then called us back when table was available, to the excellent cocktail bar nearby that they recommended we wait at, to the attentiveserviceand friendliness through our dinner, we felt we had been hosted by friends. and the food. to die for pasta. between the truffle pasta and the carbonara... i am still salivating days later. a true gem.

really enjoyed the chester white cured diner experience from go to woe. great tasting array of cured meats and pickles supported by a thoughtfully designed menu, excellentserviceand atmosphere.

great food, great drinks and great atmosphere, greatserviceand great value for money. highly recommend going here.

wow. everyone has to try their truffle spaghetti. wow. all that flavour.. oh my god. i've never tasted anything so delicious like that. wow. the best. their cured meats were also yummy too. we got there early on a sunday and the chef was really cool. he explained the meats and their spaghetti. greatserviceand great price as well. i highly recommend

this is a really small but really cute little place. i made the mistake of ordering a meat plate and a main and could not finish my main. but at least you get to take it home! the food was delicious but as everywhere now the wine was overpriced. theserviceis friendly and on top of things. great for a casual date night. would definitely recommend.

big fan of this place. have been here a few times. it's a very small venue, tucked away in a little laneway. theserviceis generally great, particularly when the owners are there. the first time we came here we knew we would be back because the bartender would keep looking over at our table and when our drinks looked like they were almost finished he would ask us if we needed new drinks without being prompted. the food is awesome too and very, very reasonably priced....especially for sydney. the menu is simple but whatever i've eaten on it has been delicious. great value for money. it gets very busy on a friday and saturday so either try and go very early (6pm) or you'll probably have to put your name down on their wait list but they will promptly call you when your table is free. not great for large groups....better for a couple or a group of max 4.

what a daring little venture this is. embedded so firmly in its niche; the owners would understand that there's no room for error and you have to execute it perfectly. and that's exactly what they've done!

it's such a tasteful throwback to the prohibition era that's you be forgiven for mistakenly thinking chester white had been nestled in the back streets of potts point since the tilly devine days. it is tastefully decorated with optimum utilisation of this quirky space. it's a well considered use of a single fronted terrace that typifies the area. everything is thought of; from the fixed stools at intimate spacings to magnets that pin the fresh cutlery to the wall. even the menu and drinks list is perfectly integrated into creating a groovy, relaxed atmosphere with limited space.

the menu creatively delivers cured meats and pick platters perfect for that in between snack over a few drinks or a saturday afternoon starter. the lamb was delicious, the seafood scallop arrangement (name escapes me) was absolutely exploding with flavour and the bresaola was delicious also!

theservicewas brilliant. that perfect balance of engagement, welcoming, explaining the menu yet not annoying. for a place that's only been open for two weeks, the team work together seamlessly.

to get the maximum enjoyment out of chester white, i would recommend it only for couples or groups of 2-3.

all in all, this is a little gem that you must check out!
