Song Bird, Neil Perry’s three-storey Chinese restaurant, open­s alongside Bobbie’s – a basement cocktail bar

“I have had a Chinese restaurant, of some kind, since 1994, it’s what I love doing” says Neil Perry. “So when I knew I was going to do another restaurant in Double Bay, it just made sense for it to be Chinese.”

“I wanted the sister of Margaret to be somewhere you can have amazing roast duck, beautiful dumplings, and some ginger and shallot coral trout.”

So that’s what he did, and the result is Song Bird, which opened for its first service last Friday….
