Celebrating Chef Lisa 🎂
Tonight at Bon Vin, we took a moment between the rhythm of service to celebrate someone very special to our kitchen — Chef Lisa.
A chef who brings passion, precision, and a beautiful energy to the team every day. From the early prep hours to the final plates leaving the pass, her dedication and positive spirit make our kitchen a better place.
It’s always special when the team can pause, share a laugh, cut a cake, and celebrate one of our own.
Happy Birthday Chef Lisa — thank you for your hard work, creativity, and the joy you bring to the kitchen every day.
Cheers to another year of beautiful food and great service. 🥂

A sweet finale, served with restraint and classic French charm.
At Bon Vin Restaurant Darlinghurst, our Trio Dessert Platter is designed for those who prefer to taste a little of everything — balanced, elegant and quietly indulgent.
A perfectly torched mini crème brûlée, its caramel shell giving way to silky vanilla custard.
Delicate berry skewers, bright and refreshing to lift the palate.
And a vibrant raspberry macaron, crisp shell with a tender centre and fragrant filling.
Three textures. Three expressions of sweetness. One refined finish to your evening.

Valentine’s Day dinner service at Bon Vin.
An evening shaped by precision, timing and quiet confidence from the kitchen to the floor. Each course paced with intention, each plate composed with clarity — from delicate seafood beginnings to classical French mains and a refined pâtisserie finish.
Soft lighting, polished glassware, the gentle hum of conversation and the rhythm of service moving seamlessly behind the scenes. Romance here is not theatrical — it’s considered, elegant and assured.
Thank you to everyone who chose to celebrate with us. Your tables, your conversations, your trust in our craft — that is what makes the evening.
Valentine’s Day at Bon Vin.
Refined dining. Thoughtful hospitality. A service to remember.
