Specialising in Austrian and German cuisines, Maggie’s Potts Point brings a slice of Europe to Sydney. Not your typical Austrian and German restaurant, Maggie’s is casual, relaxed and more like a cafe than a beerhall – which we love. Open from frühstuck (breakfast), right through until abendessen (dinner), you’ll find a wide selection of dishes you’re guaranteed to love. We recommend starting with duck terrine with cranberry sauce; smoked trout salad and deep-fried camembert, before a main of Wiener schnitzel served with cabbage salad and Maggie’s signature rosti; goulash cooked in a spicy paprika sauce with homemade spätzle (flour dumplings) or beef medallions smothered in pepper sauce. Maggie’s Potts Point is located on MacLeay Street, not far from Elizabeth Bay and Kings Cross, where reservations are essential to avoid disappointment.

Flavours of Cartel tasting menu was amazing! The food was delicious and the flavours were unique. The presentation was fabulous and the presentation by our server was so engaging and fun. Loved hearing about the different cuisines and their origins. So much food that we took our dessert to go. Make sure you come hungry!

An excellent selection of what you could expect in a family run restaurant in parts of Europe. Large serve sizes provide excellent value. Not a place for date night, more for wholesome food over a couple of drinks with family of friends. Well loved over the decades by locals and visitors.
