Food Bursting With Flavour To Delight Your Tastebuds
Sassafras of Paddington is a Spanish restaurant that employs top chefs to prepare meals from the freshest, locally sourced ingredients.
- Our Spanish Kitchen fare includes ingredients that can be as tongue-twisting as they are tongue-delighting: chimichurri, arancini, manchego, chipotle—never heard of these before? Then you’re definitely missing out.
- Taste tapas with a difference. Pork belly or mushroom tacos paired with saffron mayonnaise are just two of the most loved items on our current, ever changing menu.
- You can choose to sit indoors or in our backyard as the mood takes you or the weather dictates. Bring your dog along – we are a pet-friendly restaurant with special treats and enough space for your furry friends to frolic in while you sip from a variety of coffees made by our baristas or chill with a sundowner.
