French soul.
New York edge.
London polish.
… a dash of Sydney mischief.

Step inside
Darling Glebe
Born on the bones of the original Darling Mills site.
A brasserie with stories in her walls, beef stock in her soul, a wine list worth falling in love with and martinis that know exactly what they’re doing.
Created by chef-restaurateur Jeff Schroeter, the maestro behind some of Sydney’s most iconic kitchens, this is dining with depth, delight and a little raised eyebrow.

The Vibe
Darling Glebe is a brasserie for those who crave a little wonder.
It’s casual luxe dining for a new generation.
Set within historic sandstone, she blends flavour and warmth with a cheeky wink.
Some say she’s an heirloom to Sydney diners.
Others just call her their new favourite.
THE CLASSICS,
REAWAKENED
Our Food
At Darling Glebe, the menu tips its hat to tradition… then licks the spoon.
Here, French classics return, a little bolder and braver, with a touch of rebellion.
It’s cuisine shaped by a chef who knows restraint as well as indulgence.
Every dish is a little memory in the making.
Printed on site.
Changed on a whim.
The Menus
Chef Jeff Schroeter cooks with a sixth sense for flavour and timing.
Bold. Instinctive. Always seasonal.
Discover revived 1890s Oyster Rockefeller, escargot en cocotte, strawberry foie gras, and duck à l’orange reimagined with native citrus.
Darling Mills Farm greens honour the founders. The slow-cooked beef rump is a signature in its own right.
A brasserie with stories in her walls.

The Ferrari Martini Lounge
where charm gets dressed up and manners loosen their tie.
Our Cocktails
The Ferrari
Martini Lounge
Curated by award winning bartender Charlie Ainsbury, it’s unapologetically martini-led.
Whether you're here for a pitch perfect Negroni or The Chef’s Martini, a drink with its own cult following, we’ll pour something unforgettable.
Come for a prelude. Stay for the afterword. Or just skip to the main event.
Call it a wine list if you must,
but this one's more of a passport with a loose dress code.
Our Wines
Explore the Wine Cellar
Old-world bottles mingle with new-world troublemakers.
Champagne flows by the glass (we call it house water).
We’ve cellared the showstoppers, the sleepers and cheeky bottles that won’t break the bank. And if you're looking for something rare, our sommelier knows exactly where to find it, or how to hunt it down.
From Bordeaux to the Barossa, Loire to the Adelaide Hills, every pour tells a story. Some whisper. Some roar.
Whether you’re swirling something ancient or discovering a new favourite, you’re in the right room. The cellar’s just getting started, building towards 2,800 bottles one exceptional drop at a time.
Where French soul and Sydney sparkle make perfect dinner partners.
Minutes from the CBD, a world away in charm.
Functions
We’ll help you host the kind of night that becomes legend.
Behind sandstone walls and velvet colonnades, Darling Glebe is where stories begin, deals are sealed and birthdays get gloriously indulgent.
Each of our five rooms has its own mood, its own moment, and just the right amount of personality.
From long-table laughter in the Ferrari Martini Lounge to unforgettable nights in the Adey Private Wine Cellar, every space honours the artists who shaped them.
Cuisine by Jeff the Chef. Service with a wink.
Every room has a story. And a name.

One mission: make it unforgettable.
The Dybka Room is a jewel box of a room, quietly luminous. Two etched glass panels by Anne Dybka OAM give it its name. Look closely to see one holds koi fish mid swim, the other an abstract seasonal etching. It’s where the light is flattering, the glassware sparkles and the stories never quite stay on script.
The Chef’s Table is Darling Glebe’s best-kept invitation. Framed by colonnades and soft shadows, it’s where four seats become a world of their own. Here, the dishes are closer, the laughter carries and Chef Jeff’s touch is in every course. Enjoy the quiet thrill of knowing you're in the best seat in the house.
The kind of night you’ll reminisce about for years to come.

Menus that change. Bottles that don’t last long.

CHEF RESTAURATEUR
Jeff Schroeter
Jeff Schroeter is one of Australia’s quiet masters.
Four decades on the pans, still cooking with heart, humour and zero ego. A working legend.
Raised in Walla Walla and trained in London, New York, and Switzerland, he’s shaped Sydney’s palate through craft, not fame.
He’s cooked for royalty at The Savoy, fashion icons at The Royalton, and built cult favourites like Bistro Moncur, Bayswater Brasserie and Beckett’s. Known for soulful, structured, flavour-first food, Jeff has spent 40 years perfecting technique and ignoring trends.
Darling Glebe is personal. A return to his vision. A celebration of what endures.
“Every dish has to tell the truth. No tricks. Just depth.” - Jeff, while tasting stock blindfolded (yes, really)
They broke through the sandstone to build a wine cellar.
Then they just… kept going.
Five decades later, we’re still toasting their madness.
