The Smoking Panda

Best Known For

World-class cocktails, a cracking wine list and irresistible Pan-Asian dishes.

Fusing LA hip with the charm of a retro Chinese eatery, The Smoking Panda on Park Street is where cool Sydneysiders gather for a good time. This fun and quirky venue, located in The Hotel Coronation, dishes up world-class cocktails, a cracking wine list and tantalising Pan-Asian bites in moodily lit surrounds of plastered brick and sleek black furniture. Take a seat at the bar and sip a Bourbon Old Fashioned, while perusing a menu drawing inspiration from suburban Chinese restaurants with plates like Szechuan salt and pepper pineapple cut squid with fresh chilli, shallots and aioli. Open for dinner and drinks on Thursday and Friday nights, be tempted by offerings of Asian spicy beef salad, hussy leaves, cucumber, cherry tomato, Spanish onion, toasted walnuts, red chilli and coriander.
