Ryno

Taxi Kitchen at Federation Square absolutely lived up to its reputation. We’d been told it was worth a visit, and it exceeded our expectations. The highlight of the evening was the steak—without question one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and packed with flavour, it was the kind of meal you remember long after you’ve left the restaurant.

Amazing new seasonal menu was great. Thoroughly recommend the prawn dumplings and the Crying Tiger Eggplant. The main course Pork dish was tasty and fulfilling. Overall another great lunch at Taxi Kitchen.
