Our Story
The Restaurant
Our restaurant & workshop share space, but more important are the views we share. That traditions guide but do not rule. Rising Sun Workshop does not support factory farming, what we buy in we buy local, from roasters, smokers, brewers, growers, winemakers & distillers who share our philosophies — our mates. We’re here for your crazy & not so crazy dietaries, not all things are possible but with a little notice they might be.
The Workshop
Expert or novice, everyone should have a place to work & create on their own terms, in their own time… only we don’t. The city got bigger, space got smaller & we didn’t inherit backyard workshops like the ones our fathers retreated to when we were young. Rising Sun Workshop is a reaction to this loss.
The restaurant & workshop are two components of one machine. We share this building because our goals are common — to feed & nourish our guest’s hunger. Every coffee drunk, cookie dunked & noodle slurped, helps towards keeping the workshop activity high & rates to members low.
We are a social enterprise that wouldn’t exist if not for resources pooled & donated by the very community that demands it — our members and guests. We thank you.
You are an honoured guest, welcome to our home.
