Samson's Paddock

A long-loved watering hole in Mosman Park, Samson’s Paddock is now a tapas haven for local foodies. With a history dating back to the 1830s when horses rested out front while riders quenched their thirst indoors, Samson’s has evolved into a casually chic stop for a drink and graze from share plates. Step into a warm, inviting décor of worn brick and rustic wood and take a seat in front of the fireplace to chase away chills, or in balmier months sip a craft beer alfresco on the paved courtyard. Diners are served up tempting dishes such as grilled octopus with basil pistou, sundried tomatoes and pine nuts, washed down by a honey whiskey liqueur, or for the ultimate grazing plate try the sirloin tasting board with veal and Wagyu, before a sweet finish like black sesame crème brulee.
