We are excited to announce the addition of The Velvet Glove to our Darlinghurst dining experience. Nestled on the edge of Darlinghurst, boasting a view of the iconic Coke Sign, this swanky restaurant offers a truly unique dining experience with a short but sophisticated menu, well-crafted cocktails and a thoughtfully curated wine list. Step into a beautiful Art Deco inspired dining room with marble surfaces, low lighting and plush velvet furniture, via a discreet entrance-way off Darlinghurst Road and William Street
A recent comment on Insta’ from the lovely Heidi, reminded us just how much our guests enjoy our dining tours! Her family of six adults booked our Surry Hills Tour last October via one of our trusted Travel Partners. On the night we met in the foyor of the eternally elegant Shangri-la Sydney before whisking our guests off to Toei our new Korean / Japanese find located on the border of Surry Hills and Darlinghurst.
This month, we’re excited to unveil a new chapter: The Sydney Connection now exclusively offers Private Tours, immersing guests in Sydney's vibrant dining scene with tailored experiences for you and your loved ones. By focusing solely on private tours, we can now offer added perks like a city hotel transfer to the first venue, where your guide will meet you in the foyer for a warm introduction to Sydney en route to your first cocktail of the evening. Guests will enjoy our signature format: a four-course set menu with matching wines and engaging stories and anecdotes from your local guide about Sydney’s history, people, and restaurants.
We are excited to announce the addition of Toei to our Surry Hills Tour. This hidden gem beautifully merges the casual dining experience with the refined culinary artistry of two cultures: Korean and Japanese. At Toei, the menu features dishes that may appear unpretentious in description but are complex in flavour, showcasing the chef's expertise and boundless creativity.
So you have finished your Dry July spell and are ready to resume your usual drinking rituals. But maybe your also considering incorporating some of those tasty non-alcohol alternatives into your weekly beverage consumption? As a food tour operator we are receiving more requests for no-alcohol drinks to pair with our set- menu format. And it is not always for religious reasons - like in the past - it’'s more often to do with healthier attitudes towards alcohol intake or guests wanting to pace their drinking over the course of a long trip away. Thankfully most bars and restaurants now stock some wonderful options such as Lyres and NON.
We are happy to announce our newest addition, Bar Conte, on our Surry Hills Tour. The World’s first dedicated Negroni Bar and Italian Restaurant in Sydney, offering a unique selection of over 30 Negronis made with premium products. The kitchen is overseen by chef and co-owner Steven De Vecchi. The menu features Italian dishes ranging from light Aperitivo snacks to hearty pastas.
The transformation of the grand terrace house corner spot into The Waratah is a delightful celebration of Australiana, blending culinary expertise with artistic flair. Natural elements have been incorporated into the design, from the Waratah light-box shining onto Victoria Street, to the hand-painted flora ceiling mural echoing the beauty of Australian landscapes in the urban setting of uptown Darlinghurst.
After six wonderful years, our beloved local spot, House Bistro, has undergone a transformation, bringing both of their brands together under one new name: Bloom Potts Point. While the name may have changed, the passion and dedication of the team remain the same as they continue to bring a taste of Italy to Potts Point.
