Kitchen by Mike in Sydney’s CBD, is a beloved establishment helmed by acclaimed chef Mike McEnearney. The canteen-style eatery offers simple yet nourishing dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, catering to a diverse range of tastes and dietary preferences. Patrons can indulge in breakfast classics like Mike’s bacon butty or innovative creations such as avocado smash with lime, miso, and nori salad. At lunch, diners can peruse a selection of wood-roasted proteins, salads, tartines, pizza slices, and pastries displayed on a central countertop. In the evening, the canteen transforms into a refined dining experience with table service while maintaining its warm and generous atmosphere.
The CBD location of Kitchen by Mike is a continuation of McEnearney’s commitment to providing wholesome, flavorful meals using seasonal produce and local suppliers.

The drinks menu reflects a similar ethos, focusing on local offerings without compromising on quality.

His dedication to authenticity and generosity is evident in the restaurant’s atmosphere and menu offerings. Additionally, McEnearney’s involvement in events like the Westpac Open Air Cinema and his role as Creative Director of Carriageworks’ farmer’s market underscores his commitment to promoting local food culture.
