Pecorino & fennel pollen Seadas w local honey & lemon zest.
This savoury dessert, a traditional semolina dumpling filled with Pecorino sardo, served warm and drizzled with honey is the final dish of our 4 and 8 course Sardinian menus this week.
We will be serving our current menu for the next fortnight ( Oct 10th ). You can make reservations online via our website however when you do, you may notice some changes.

The last few weeks since the @timeoutsydney review came out has led to a lot of new interest in Wander. Whilst we welcome our new guests, in the last 2 weeks we have had more cancelations/no shows than we have had in the entire 8 months wander had been open.

Wander is a small 24-seat restaurant and we prepare and staff each service according to the number of guests booked.
No shows and late cancelations really hurt small business’ and therefore we have now introduced a 24 hour cancelation policy.
When you make a reservation online, to secure your reservation, valid credit or debit card details are required at the time of booking.

We understand that life happens and plans can change. Reservations may be cancelled or amended without charge up to 24 hours before the reservation time.

No restaurant wants to charge a cancelation fee, they are set up to hopefully be a deterrent to prevent people from making reservations they are not planning on using.
I understand that this may prevent some guests from wanting to dine with us but this is the only option we have to protect our small business and we ask that you please respect our policies. taken in Wander by @wanderrestaurant

Sardegna
New month means new menus, and this month we are headed to Sardinia
When I first lived in London on a working holiday from 2013-2015 I was fortunate enough to work with heaps of Italians which then lead to me being able to go visit the northern end of Sardegna many times.
Staying in the mountain town of Tempio Pausania we would spiaggia by day and shop, cook and eat and drink by night.
This week we are creating a 4 & 8 course menu of some of my favourite dishes from that time including
Porceddu al mirto - suckling pig roasted in mirto
Culurgiones - potato, mint & pecorino filled pasta
Seadas - fried pecorino pastry w honey & lemon
This menu will run for the next fortnight and as usual we can accomodate dietary requirements with prior notice only. Bookings are able to be made via our website and please check the reservation time and date of your bookings as the past few weeks we have been fully booked and are unable to seat guests who arrive on the wrong date or at the wrong time

Sicily
This month we are serving menus inspired by my travels though Sicily. This fortnight we are focusing on Central and Western Sicilan towns of Palermo & Trapani. Back in 2023 when I was still based in London I spent 3 weeks in Sicily, starting in a few days with my dad in Palermo, then driving to the town of Salemi for a @salemi.ceramics I pottery course via Trapani.
Some highlights of the trip were
Bussiate w pesto alla trapanese for the first time @nanna_vita
One of the coolest natural wine bars in the world @dalbaronevino
Lots of street food at Mercato Ballaro, Vucciria & Il capo.
Cous cous alla Trapanese in Trapani
Finally learning to throw big plates @salemi.ceramics
This week from Wed - Sat we are serving a 4 course & 8 course Sicilian menu with dishes inspired from this trip . If you want to pop by for just a snack or a bowl of pasta, we are offering our Aperitivo menu to walk ins only on outdoor dining tables.
Then next week we will be serving a menu that takes inspiration from Eastern Sicily - Catania, Taormina & Mount Etna .
You can make reservations now online via our website.

Bussiate w capretto ragù, mint & pecorino.
Bussiate are a flour & semolina spiral shaped pasta that comes from the Trapani on the western coast of Sicily. Hand rolled daily and served with a capretto ragù made from a whole @meredithfarmproduce dairy capretto. Im very excited to be using their produce which is super delicious & sustainable. ( They raise all of their kid goats which aren’t required for their @meredithdairy milk production )
This dish will be part of our 4 & 8 course set menus next week + our Father’s Day Lunch menu & our outdoor Apertivo menu. #wanderrestaurant taken in Wander by @wanderrestaurant

Aperitivo
Now that the nights are a little warmer we are bringing a little “la dolce vita” to Wills Rd with a small Aperitivo menu for our new outdoor dining tables.
Over the winter I’ve been working with the council to create a little bit of outdoor dining. The garden beds in front of the restaurant create a unique situation where the footpath is broken in two and to use outdoor seating we have to maintain 1.8m of pedestrian access. Consequently our tables are only able to be 400m in diameter which is a perfect size for a glass of wine and a few snacks.
We have 3 x tables for 2 people that will be available from 5pm Wed - Sat for walk ins only. For those tables we will offer a small ala carte Apertivo menu of dishes. Please note we will not be offering the Apertivo menu on the tables indoors.
The outdoor seating is under an awning that is quite protected but due to the unpredictable nature of Sydney weather we are not offering online reservations for these tables.
We have a couple of new @bizzarroaperitivo spritz on the cocktail menu which are perfect for this weather, as well as some Sicilian wines from @vinodianna @theterroirsproject and some Italian varitatels from @delinquentewineco @dalzotto.wines @renzagliawines
We will begin posting a story of the Apertivo menu daily and will be able to accomodate limited dietary requirements. ( if you have a more complex dietary requirement or allergy please send an email to info@wanderrestaurant so that we can prepare accordingly )
