About Kneading Ruby

Nestled in the heart of Wollongong and part of the town’s cheery seaside dining scene is Kneading Ruby on Crown Lane. Imposing from the outside with high brick walls, inside is unassumingly elegant, with lofty ceilings giving an airy feel to pair with delicate vines draped across timber ceiling beams and polished floors. Naturally lit during the day for a breezy café feel and cast under a soft glow for more ambient evening dining, Kneading Ruby can cater to a range of occasions and is popular for large groups looking to share a selection of tasty wood-fired pizzas and bespoke dishes of seasonal produce. Perhaps start with grilled King prawns, garlic and chilli butter, lemon, chives and sourdough, before lamb shoulder, puttanesca, olives and sides of seasonal vegetables and potatoes.

Die happily after the garlic bread
Second time at this amazing establishment and let me say I was equally as wowed for round 2 as I was for our first visit! This time we roped in the family to join us as we had been bragging about the place since our first visit! You could leave here happily just after the garlic bread alone.
