What Rolando Bartoletti doesn't like about Cafe Shenkin:
An absolute gem that’s tucked away on Erskineville Road (a stone’s throw from Newtown). Gorgeous food and lovely staff who are polite, friendly and professional. Highly recommend! View all feedback. What Annette Mills likes about Cafe Shenkin:
We came to Cafe Shenkin on a Friday night for a group catch up. The food is always good, atmosphere nice and relaxed and it wasn't loud or overcrowded. The only thing was that they only allowed diners to order the set menu which was confusing due to the al la carte menu online. It would've been nice if they had at least informed us upon booking if their website wasn't up to date. View all feedback.
