    HIGHLY RECOMMEND Little Jeans - generous portion sized and excellent quality food. I'm incredibly impressed, we went to LJs for the set menu option for Forkfest and I could not fault a single dish. I think it is difficult to do the simply dishes well because it will truly show the quality of the ingredients and skill of the chef and both was excellent. The dishes were excellent from start to finish but highlights for me were the burrata, barramundi and octopus. Portion sizes were hefty and we left well-fed. Will definitely be coming back.

    The food is always fabulous, the staff are lovely, best chai latte's in town and the location is fun and it's easy to park. Outside dining with heaters, blankets and cushions under cover for the covid cautious. What's not to love?

    Reliable venue and tasty food with the added bonus of being able to bring along your furry friend for outside seating. Always friendly service.

    We were seated and left at the table without the offer of a drink or a menu for 10 mins. We ordered Aranchini to start - they arrived with a huge block of cold, unmelted cheese in the middle - we sent them back. Our mains took another 40 minutes to arrive - a steak ordered well-done but arrives as medium at best and a burger with what felt like a whole salad bowl or lettuce on top - underwhelming to say the least. Little Jean used to be a favourite for us and unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be going back any time soon.

    A great little restaurant with a lot of effort put in to create a lovely ambience. The quality of the food and presentation were excellent. We both had the barramundi and were very pleased with our choice. The wine selection is great too. Will definitely return.

    Our first time at Little Jean and we loved it. Food, service and ambience all top notch. Great background music too. Noise levels quiet, so a good venue for conversation. We’ll be back!

    As a long time patron this is one of my favorite restaurants however was disappointed on my recent visit with my dish of choice- the steak. Flavor average not special and seems to shrink in size every time I go! Great ambiance and service though

    Love this place. Great location, great vibe. Food is usually great- fantastic but today off their game. Soup was bland and not very substantial considering it’s description. Hope it was just a one off. Would still recommend it, just maybe skip the soup????

    We love this little gem . The food is always super and the ambience is relaxed and easy going. The roast chicken , fettuccine and salsa are a must. We enjoyed it all.

    Chef was sick, short staff , wait so long for terrible food. The lady manager is very professional . Keep apologies to every customer . Feel sorry for her. The night was full for dine in. So they should stop takeaway services

    Good food in a nice room with the ability to sit outside with a dog if needed. Food is contemporary and plenty to choose from including vegetarian options. Easy parking nearby.

    We ordered the lamb kofta and the prawn fettucini. Both dishes were really tasty. I highly recommend the deconstructed cornetto.

    Stylish low key dining in Kiaora Lane. Food was really excellent, feather light gnocchi with a simple tasty ragu, and the steamed sticky date pudding delicious. All the details were on point, low lighting with small table lamps, soft linen napkins, great music selection. Service was friendly and efficient. Relaxed ambiance. Definitely worth a visit.

About the restaurant

Say hello to Little Jean

Slotting in nicely to the backstreets of Double Bay is Little Jean. And yes, she is little, with just eighty seats in total. But despite its small space, she doesn't feel squishy. Like the food, the decor is simple and modern with copper light fittings, white walls, timber finishes and branches in large vases making up much of the interior. Open for breakfast from 7am - and more importantly for coffee at 6:30am, Little Jean also offers lunch daily and is open for dinner from Tuesday to Sunday too. With About Life, Woolworths and The Golden Sheaf all within metres, foot traffic around this little gem is high, but there's usually enough seats to go around. Sit inside and salivate over the cabinet of house-baked pastries, or dine outside where you will be kept warm by heaters in the winter and feel the sun streaming on your face come summer. This is a sleek and breezy venue that's perfect for intimate dinners, weekend brunches and family affairs. Come one, come all.

Best Dish: Salmon, Cauliflower, tahini yoghurt, surmac, walnut, coriander
