I just love this place , great selection of beer , decent cocktails list ( that long island is strong but so gud ) . The meat platter we had was decent , the pork belly was boring and under seasoned but the rest was really good and tasty . Just a great chilled venue .
Lovely warm place. Warm friendly people. Great food. I love the prawns feast and they were delicious. didn’t take long to get them as they were on special. 16 king prawns which makes a kilo... wow. It was a feast. And Delish... Will go back certainly
Let me try to cover all important aspects:
Service: A warm welcome at the door, our waitress was attentive to us, and the rest of staff was friendly when we left.
Ambiance: We were there on a soccer game night, but you could hardly tell. No one was loud - just friend groups and couples enjoying each other's company in the dimly lit restaurant.
Food: I picked the "Vegan Rainbow Bowl" among the vegan options, and a side of fries. That meal hit the right spot! I'm impressed that they had a tofu bowl (a lot of restaurants don't) and I like that they included a some vegan dishes on the menu.
Drinks: We had the "Cup a Tea, Please" gin cocktail, which comes in a teapot. So cute!
An overall wonderful evening, all factors considered. I'll definitely visit again!
Celebrated dads 60th here with a Sunday lunch. Great vibe in the restaurant as always. Enjoyed zucchini fritters and olives as table starters. The fritters were SO good! Three of us were plant based and were greeted with a few options (hooray) - we all had the rainbow bowl, picture attached. Unanimous call that it was UNREAL. dad enjoyed some fish and chips and mom had the salmon both of which went down a treat.
Service wasn’t tip top but nonetheless a very enjoyable afternoon!
such a beautiful gem that is nicely located. the restaurant is very inviting & has beautiful aesthetics. we went there for drinks & their selection was absolutely amazing. a definite chill spot from now onwards.
The food is amazing, especially the mussels and the pork belly. Lovely array of cocktails and particularly enjoyed the gin tea pot. Amazing atmosphere and always a good amount of people there. Staff are amazing.
A lovely afternoon. Love the cocktails. Menu is a bit limited for my liking but the meal was great, I had the steak. Great service and a fun afternoon.
Vibey gastro-pub. Fabulous food , fabulous cocktails and fabulous waitrons - big ups to Princess for her pleasant nature and efficient service. Fun place to get a Friday nite pre-party celebration off the ground. Prawn burger was the best by far. Steaks done to perfection. Mussels - a must try. And you have to have a Big Lebowski - the only way to kick off the evening at The Foundry.
Went for a girls lunch after some shopping and t was great! Friendly service, great atmosphere and delicious food & cocktails! Will definitely go back for more! Another Parktown North Gem!
My fiancé and his friends love this place for their craft beers. I love it for the tapas food! Ha ha ha... the food is really gourmet for a pub like place and really vibey with people.
Absolutely amazing!!
Their food is mouthwatering delicious and they drinks are lovely. I had the pork ribs and they are officially my favorite. I also had their cocktail, "a cup a tea, please." and it was super delicious and I loved the presentation of the drink.
The place has such a great vibe and atmosphere and I was so happy to spend my birthday here.
It was so special that they brought me a desert and sang for me too. I would Defineitly recommend this place and I cannot wait to return to it.
Had my parents meet my in-laws the first time here. Helpful friendly staff, DELICIOUS food, decent portions, and very well priced. Jem of a restaurant, definitely coming back. The orb shots were so cool!
Friendly service staff, good & tasty proportions that are reasonably priced (also, I absolutely loved the onion rings!) The cup-a-tea-please is too cute. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. Makes sense why this place has been around for so long.
The Foundry, according to the talk of the town some say its been around forever - which is impressive. It's one of the few places that open on a Monday, so if crowds aren't your vibe this day is your day!
A fantastic place with a great atmosphere, and the back wall is a rustic art piece that should be admired.
The menu is short but complex that offers a lot on it. I've only experienced amazing food and cocktails (hint: the teapot for the gin lovers😉) here.
The small details like very different plates and designs for your different courses, and meals is a cool idea that I appreciate.
It's a place you have to try if you come to this area often...😎
Great neighborhood restaurant with a mixed menu and tasty beer list. We had the burger and a 1/2 kilo of ribs and enjoyed a few pints. The service was great and the restaurant had a nice outdoor patio to relax and soak up some sun.
Fantastic; we had a late lunch here, and it was amazing. I had the pork belly, and my partner had the fish and chips. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the lunch, the service was great in a really nice relaxing environment. I'd definitely recommend coming here and look forward to coming back (p.s definitely order the pork belly).
I really loved this place. The ribs were fantastic (and cheap in comparison to other restaurants) and the staff were very helpful and friendly. It’s on a great street with lots of other activities - the weekend that I went there there was a weekend market (stack 32 I think) where there were food stalls, a live band and some lovely thrift stalls too.

Foundry has a cool bar area and nice restaurant, gets quite vibey and has a new menu, we opted for the sharing platter which was a meat feast with sticky ribs, tangy wings, succulent pork belly strips, lamb koftas and pumpkin fritters. Was decent. Grwat selection of beers local and craft as well as cocktails and wines. Screens for sport and a great spot to meet up or take in a long slow lunch or dinner.
This place had amazing food. I came here after my friend suggested it and I was not disappointed. The menu had a lot to choose from and everything sounded great. I chose pork belly in the end and i did not regret. The picture is partially eat version because once it came I was entranced by the smell and started eating immediately. I will definitely be returning to try other meals here.
Awesome service.... Great food and drinks... Totally nice vibe. Good crowd!
