Soul+Dining+Surry Hills+Korean+food

Across town we are very pleased to announce that one of our fave modern Korean restaurants, SOUL Dining, has joined our Surry Hills line-up.

The brainchild of Illa Kim ( PR & marketing) and Daero Lee (Head Chef) who opened SOUL as their first restaurant together in early 2019. After building and then opening the business through the tail-end of the light rail construction, they have created a loyal following with pre-theatre attendees - Belvoir Theatre is just across the road - and lovers of Asian cuisine with-a-twist.

Prepare to sink into a soft, blue velvet seat, in an industrial chic space with low light and great service. SOUl Dining has been described as too Korean to be called modern Australian, but not traditional enough to be called classic Korean.

We are planning to indulge in an innovative dessert accompanied by a dessert wine or cocktail treat at the end of a fabulous evening in the hood. We can’t wait to introduce our guests to this unique dining experience.

We have a new player onboard for our Darlinghurst dining tours: introducing Bar Nina on the corner of Crown & Stanley Streets. Right smack in the middle of East Sydney the restaurant opened in April 2021 - mere months before Lockdown 2.0 kicked-in. We had intentions of popping-down to check-out the menu and vibe but Rona got in the way. So it was lovely to finally go there recently for a Saturday afternoon rose & oysters and discover that yes this is a place we definitely want to bring our guests!

New Player | House Bar Bistrot
New Player | House Bar Bistrot

Located on the once notorious Kellett Street, on the Kings Cross side off Darlinghurst Road, this small bistro feels cosy but sophisticated. Owner / Operator Mauro Forgillo - originally from Milan - wore all the hats to get his first restaurant open - from painting the chairs to writing the blackboard. A far cry from the busy & swanky evirons of Rockpool, Merivale and Fratelli Fresh.

New Player | Bang Tang

Bang Tang is situated mid-way down the lovely tree-lined Victoria Street, opposite the back-packer hostels that are fast reverting to their original residential mansion status, as the gentrification of the area continues. With half of the restaurant floor space dedicated to alfresco dining it’s a very pleasant place to spend a beautiful summers evening in Sydney.
