This Sydney Restaurant Is Donating All Profits to Domestic Abuse Victim Support Programs

The Song Hotel in Sydney's CBD has a brand new kitchen and bar, and they're putting all of their profits towards supporting victims of domestic abuse.

Located on Wentworth Avenue in the recently renovated YWCA-owned hotel, The Song Kitchen is helmed by chef Charlotte Gonzales, who has previously worked in the kitchen at Merivale's Felix and was briefly sous chef at Fred's. She's put together an a la carte menu with a subtle French influence and a strong focus on local produce.

Entrees, including charred octopus salad and pork terrine with apricot and pistachio, sit alongside mains such as duck breast, lamb shoulder, and house-made gnocchi with pepper, sweet corn, ricotta and pecorino. As for dessert, your options include lavender crème brûlée, crêpe Suzette and a chocolate and coconut tart.

Punters will be able to order from a truncated version of the menu at the bar, where you'll also find a healthy selection of spirits, beers and wines. Sommelier Sophie Otton has kept things mostly local, with more than half of the wine list produced by female winemakers or estate owners.

Best of all, 100 percent of profits from The Song Kitchen will go towards funding the YWCA's NSW programs and services that support women and children escaping domestic violence.

The Song Kitchen is now open at 5-11 Wentworth Avenue, Sydney. For more information visit songkitchen.com.au.
