The grill

Fire, sandstone and a front-row kitchen.

Pony brings together a century-old Rocks setting, an open kitchen and an Argentinian-inspired wood-fire grill. The result is a dining room built for steak, seafood, cocktails and a long table that wants to stay awhile.

Wood-fire grill

Fire at the Centre of the Room

Our kitchen is built around flame. The ironbark grill sits in view, shaping steaks, seafood and vegetables with heat, smoke and restraint.

That approach is why guests return for rib eye, sirloin, oysters, kangaroo skewers and the unmistakable character of wood-fired cooking in The Rocks.

Lunch and laneway dining

A Kendall Lane Lunch

Lunch at Pony works best when the table settles in: oysters, grilled chicken salad, sesame seared tuna with soba noodles, flatbread and a glass from the list.

The terrace and Kendall Lane setting keep the room connected to The Rocks, with a relaxed view of the precinct while the grill keeps moving inside.
