Exchange Hotel BALMAIN reviews
4 Star Review by Chicca Fumagalli
My neighbour and I ordered take away from this place. We had caprese salad and calzone pizza with tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, ham, ricotta and olive oil. They tasted good, even if pizza was a bit burnt under. Antipasto plates look very good from pictures, we might go there and try more food one day, a lot of things seem yummy.
5 Star Review by Louise Hayward
Fabulous food every time - even if you order the salad. And such a pleasure that dogs are welcomed. There is often live music too- an all round winner.

What an amazing experience, great staff and great atmosphere. Food is fantastic, we had special Salmon with Pesto and also Homemade Pumpkin Ravioli along with antipasto board. Wine selection at the front bar is excellent, great boutique selection. Highly recommended if you are chilling out in Balmain.

Awesome food and a really nice atmosphere. If you haven't been since the new owners took over you should go. Nice little kids area too! And the pasta is amazing.
