If it ain’t broke… don’t change the gnocchi.
Our ‘OG’ Fried Gnocchi has been on the menu for eight years. We tried to change it but you made it very clear: some favourites are best left exactly as they are.
So, we listened. The original is back and still the best fried gnocchi in town.
The ‘OG’ Fried gnocci, whipped goats cheese cream, truffle honey, crispy sage, shaved pecorino
Turns out the customer is always right… especially when it comes to gnocchi. 🤌

Happy 10 years, Chef ❤️
Ten years ago, we hired an entire island and married at sunset.
Since then, we’ve travelled to many more islands, chased countless sunsets and toasted our way with plenty of cocktails and, when the occasion calls for it, a bottle of Dom Pérignon 🥂
Here’s to many more years of adventures, incredible dinners, beautiful sunsets, bottles of Dom and perhaps another business or two, because clearly we do it best together.
I promise to always be ready for your next crazy business idea, open another bottle of Dom at any excuse, and when no one else will do it, happily be your kitchen hand.
Thank you for being the best husband, chef and business partner I could ever ask for. I love doing this crazy, wonderful life with you.
Happy anniversary, Cheffy

What people say
Jensens Restaurant, located on Freya Street in Sydney, is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional Australian dining experience. Owned by Carl Jensen, who also owns the acclaimed restaurant Summer Salt, Jensens offers a menu that is both delicious and diverse.
One of the standout features of Australian restaurants is their ability to incorporate local ingredients into their dishes. Jensens does this exceptionally well with their truffle specials, which are available during certain times of the year. The Truffle Baked Brie entree special is a must-try for any truffle lover - triple cream brie stuffed with shaved black truffles and prosciutto with port caramel and freshly shaved Manjimup black truffles!
But it's not just about the specials at Jensens - their regular menu items are equally impressive. The Black Pepper Crusted Beef Carpaccio entree is a recent addition to the menu and has quickly become a customer favorite. It's served with whipped fetta, caper and parsley dressing, pickled onion, and watercress.
To top it all off, Jensens also offers live music on certain days of the week. Scot Finnie 'The Piano Man' plays every Sunday from 1pm till 5pm, making for a perfect lazy lunch spot.
Overall, Jensens Restaurant is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for an exceptional Australian dining experience. With delicious food, creative cocktails, and live music in a cozy atmosphere - what more could you ask for?
