About Annata

Annata Restaurant dining room in St Leonards Sydney
Annata restaurant banner

Annata was founded in 2015 with one simple purpose: to create the best dining experience north of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Located in St Leonards, we’ve built a restaurant where exceptional food, remarkable wine, and genuine hospitality come together in a relaxed setting. We believe fine dining should never feel formal or intimidating. Instead, it should be welcoming, enjoyable, and shared at your own pace.


Our kitchen is led by Executive Chef Jordon Garcia, whose seasonal menus celebrate outstanding local ingredients with creativity and restraint. Alongside every dish is a carefully curated wine programme featuring 250+ Australian and international wines, with optional guided pairings that make discovering new favourites easy, whether you’re new to wine or a passionate collector.


Every guest is welcome at Annata. From à la carte dining and four-course experiences to vegetarian, vegan, and children’s menus, we happily accommodate dietary requirements and accessibility needs so everyone can enjoy an exceptional evening. Beyond the restaurant, we’re proud to support our local North Shore community by showcasing the work of local artists, hosting monthly wine events, and bringing people together over unforgettable food and wine.
