Subscribe The Best Restaurants Open on Monday Night in Sydney
We're calling it: Monday night is the new Friday when it comes to eating out in Sydney.
Let’s be honest: nobody likes Mondays. A weekend full of fun is over (and we’re all exhausted because of it), it’s time to go back to work and the harsh realities of being an adult are staring us in the face.
Typically, the first business day of the week is a slow one for the food scene, with diners less likely to want to head out after a packed weekend social calendar, and hospitality workers getting a well-deserved night off. But in recent times, there’s been a resurgence in restaurants, bars and eateries powering through and keeping doors open and giving us good reason to get out of the house on a Monday night.
Whether it’s a casual catch-up, a new spin on date night or a drink after an in-office day, Monday nights are about to become the new Fridays.
Here are our picks of the best restaurants open on a Monday night in Sydney.
Pellegrino 2000
If it’s good enough for Taylor Swift, it’s good enough for us—and this Surry Hills favourite also happens to be open seven nights a week. The perfect spot to brighten your Monday mood, Pellegrino 2000‘s popularity means the first day of the working week may be your best chance to nab a table and enjoy signature dishes like Bufala e Fichi, Rigatoni alla Carbonara and Steak Tagliata.
Open Mondays from 5pm
80 Campbell Street, Surry Hills
Sunset Sabi
A Japanese feed by the beach on a Monday evening? Sounds like the perfect start to the week, if you ask us. Manly’s Sunset Sabi serves up modern twists on Japanese favourites (think sashimi and sushi rolls, gyoza and Karaage chicken) and has an excellent cocktail menu to match. The vibe is energetic and friendly, making it the place to be on the Northern Beaches for a Monday night feed.
Open Mondays from 5:30pm – 11pm
26/28 Pittwater Road, Manly
Ragazzi
Nothing cures the Monday blues quite like carbs (at least, that’s what we keep telling ourselves), and pasta favourite Ragazzi‘s location smack bang in the middle of the city makes it a perfect choice for a post-work feed. Debrief on the emails already filling up your inbox over handmade ravioli pillows filled with butternut pumpkin, or feast on tangles of tagliatelle during a first date—no matter the occasion, Chef’s Scott McComas-Williams ever-changing menu packed with freshly-made pastas is sure to impress.
Open Mondays from 11:30am – 12am
Shop 3, 2-12 Angel Place, Sydney
