Esteban is a restaurant in Sydney, New South Wales. It is listed at 1 Temperance Ln, Sydney NSW 2000, which places it among the local businesses of Sydney that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

For a place to eat or drink, the questions that matter most are simple: is it open now, is it busy at peak hours, and does the menu suit the group you are bringing. Australian cafes tend to open early and close mid-afternoon, while restaurants and pubs run lunch and dinner services with a quiet spell in between, so an off-peak visit is worth a quick call. Card and tap-to-pay are accepted almost everywhere; some venues add a surcharge on weekends and public holidays.

The business lists hours on 1 day of the week. The most common schedule is 12 pm–12 am. As with most places, expect changes around public holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (02) 9290 7022. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a mobile. More information is available on its website, estebanrestaurant.com.au.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 1,907 reviews, which is a strong result for a restaurant in Sydney and suggests consistent service.

Sydney is in New South Wales, on Australia's east coast, where summers are warm and humid, winters are mild and businesses keep to standard hours year-round with the usual public-holiday changes. Traffic in Sydney peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the unit or street number up to the suburb, state and four-digit postcode; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I took my wife to Esteban for a little treat and was again amazed at the food and the level of service that they provided. From being welcomed to our exit, the service was excellent. They were quite busy, so we could only get a couple of seats at the bar, which was also great because we got to speak to the bartender. We drank way too many cocktails than we should have. Everything we ate was delicious, and I tried to get a few different things. The scallops were amazing. The halibut ceviche was different but also very good, but no complaints about anything. We'd definitely go back.

So this isn't the first time I have visited esteban. This has become my number 1 spot for special events. I am hard pressed to find something wrong with this venue from the food to the staff and the atmosphere esteban ticks all the boxes and exceeds at it food presentation and flavour are excellent and the price point is an added bonus. A must try is the flathead cervicheis a must try along with the duck. I wish I got our servers name but she was amazing she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She even invited us to try some tequila that I was definitely up for. She even allowed us to see the unique bottle it come in. This just added to how amazing the staff were and showed how much they care and enjoy what they do. We also did a few of the cocktails all of witch are outstanding the pear cocktail of the month is Highly recommend and i hope its added to the menu as a regular drink i could drink a jug of it. Its that good. We toped the night off with pan de elote and it didnt disapoint. Definitely give esteban a go if your looking for a venue for a special someone.

Tried the flathead ceviche, grilled cuttlefish, prawn tacos, grilled eggplant (fave). All tasted great and all were well-seasoned. Walked-in on a Saturday night but we only got seated outside. Better to book a table on the website beforehand

Above average experience overall. The second floor seating felt quite crowded, with tables packed too closely together. The tacos did not really live up to the hype either. The flavours were fairly mediocre and lacked depth. The cuttlefish, however, was very well executed. Perfectly cooked with that slight bouncy texture still intact, balanced nicely with a subtle sweetness. The duck was decent with good flavour overall, but nothing particularly memorable. Ceasar salad was good. Nice play on the parmesan.

I visited Esteban tonight with some friends. We started in the upstairs dining room before moving outside later in the evening to enjoy the fresh air. The cocktails were intriguing and well balanced. We began with tacos; salmon ceviche and beef tartare; Both excellent in flavour and texture. The scallops and pork belly with green sauce followed, each dish refined and very satisfying. For mains, we had the duck and the Murray cod of the day, served with spicy roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The cod was fresh, delicate and beautifully flavoured with cherry tomatoes. The duck was cooked perfectly pink, although the skin could have been slightly crispier. Desserts were also very enjoyable, especially the crunchy dulce de leche. Service was warm and attentive throughout. Overall, a very pleasant experience: portions are moderate, but the quality and flavours are outstanding. Prices are in line with Sydney CBD dining. We will certainly return.
