Sugarcane Restaurant continues to surprise and delight its patrons four years since opening its beachside location on Carr Street in Coogee. The Thai eatery just updated its menu to keep bringing the best bang for the buck choices with great-tasting food, large portions, a friendly vibe and excellent service.
The star of this season’s menu is the newest dessert dish: black sesame parfait with a sticky blackcurrant glaze and shredded coconut.
Frequent Sugarcane Restaurant guests, however, usually order favourites like the Crisp Tortilla (crab, green apple, coconut, lime), Chicken Pad Thai, bao buns and the Hiramasa Kingfish (roasted rice, chili, lime, coriander).
First-time diners are highly recommended to pick the “Trust Me” choice off the menu, which is good for two to five people. The trustworthy selection is up to the creativity of the chef and owner, Milan Strbac, who will fill the servings with generous quantities.
Outside of Thailand, Sydney perhaps has the most developed and distinct Thai food culture, where other cities have mash-ups or fusions. Sugarcane Restaurant often tops most diners’ lists for the best Thai food on this side of the coast because the dining experience always meets expectations.
The eatery encourages communal dining but since reopening in June, the staff has committed to making the place safe for guests.
“We’re still serving the same delicious food, but we’ve adapted our processes around hygiene and record-keeping, including a new sign in to dine in policy and single-use menus,” the owner said.

“Great location, delicious food, excellent service. I couldn’t decide on the wine, so they let me taste a couple before I chose. Also mentioned we were celebrating a bday, they took the initiative and brought out a dessert with a candle in it at no charge. It’s the little things, the attention to detail that matter the most. Have already recommended you to friends. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon.”

“We had a great night at Sugarcane tonight. The food was spot on, great mix of flavours and spices we tried the recommendations from the wait staff and were delighted. The staff were so friendly and knowledgable. Our first night out for months and felt safe and totally satisfied with the choice of restaurant. We will be coming back to sample more from this menu. Thanks Sugarcane.”

“Been to Sugarcane for dinner twice now and each time the food has been excellent. The staff are also attentive and professional and the wines well chosen. It’s quite pricey for Asian food but the quality makes it well worth it – you definitely get value for money. 4 of us ate really well being pleasantly stuffed, with 2 cocktails, a beer, sparkling water and 1 bottle of wine for under $100 a head including tip. If you’re up for spending that kind of money do yourself a favour and try it. You will NOT be disappointed!”
