To our team, whose hard work makes Maydanoz what it is, and to every guest who continues to support us, thank you. And to the Good Food Guide team, thank you for recognising and celebrating what we do.
Here’s to another year of Turkish hospitality, good food and memorable moments around the table.
With love and gratitude, team at Maydanoz 🌿

Fresh produce has always been at the heart of what we do.
As we get ready for our summer menu, a few seasonal favourites will be making their exit, including our slow-braised celeriac.
If this one’s been on your list, now’s the time.

A Turkish classic, with a Maydanoz perspective.
Our slow-cooked lamb is served with leek keşkek, celeriac and a rich demi-glace. A contemporary interpretation of familiar flavours, always with tradition at its heart.

It’s all in the details with this one.
Cured snapper marin. Beetroot for earthiness, orange for brightness and bottarga for a savoury finish.

We take our vegetables seriously, but we know our way around a good steak too.
Stockyard Wagyu Kiwami MB9+ scotch fillet, straight from the fire. Best enjoyed with a glass of red.

In Türkiye, rakı is as much about what happens around the table as the drink itself. Traditionally served alongside food, it’s poured with water, turning from clear to its signature cloudy white, then enjoyed slowly over dinner and good conversation.
At Maydanoz, we like it the same way. Food on the table, nowhere to rush to, and plenty of time for another glass.
And as us Turks say, Şerefe!

We take our starters seriously. Turkish dining always has 🌿
The first plates are there to wake up the appetite and get the table going, usually with plenty of bread within reach.
Our whipped feta comes with pistachios and sweet-sour grapes, while our taramasalata is creamy, savoury and finished with fish roes.
Start with these. Take your time with the rest.

Butter Sautéed Mushrooms.
Three varieties of mushroom, menemen sauce, chestnuts, soy lecithin, and our signature Turkish influence at the heart of the dish.

Maydanoz is our take on contemporary Turkish dining, inspired by the food and flavours of the Aegean. Vegetables are given just as much attention as meat, olive oil is used generously and fire plays a big part in the way we cook.
Find us in Sydney C*D for lunch, dinner, after-work drinks and everything that happens somewhere in between. With dedicated vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and coeliac menus, there’s always something for everyone at the table.
We’ll save you a seat.

Slow-braised celeriac, inspired by the simplicity of Aegean cooking. Good produce, plenty of olive oil and some citrus.
A dish you’ll find across our vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and coeliac-friendly menus, made for everyone at the table.

How do you take your martini? Dirty or filthy? 🍸
Either way, we’ll have something salty waiting on the side. Happy Hour from 3–7pm, Monday to Friday.

Charred red pepper dolma, herbed rice pilaf and kefir.
Vegetarian, coeliac-friendly, and designed to add colour to your table.

You know Turkish food, but do you know Kumpir?
A much loved street food across Türkiye, it’s especially associated with Istanbul’s Ortaköy, where rows of kumpır shops have been serving them for decades and choosing your toppings is half the experience.
Traditionally, the potato is baked until soft, opened and mixed while hot before being loaded with your choice of toppings, and everyone has their own combination.
At Maydanoz, we’ve given the classic our own take with lacto-fermented red cabbage. One to try on your next visit.
