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 happy to announce our newest addition, Arms Length, on our Potts Point Tour. Formerly of Redfern, the Armslength crew has jumped the Oxford Street border to be part of the constantly evolving Kings Cross Quarter drinking & dining scene. The new operators have maintained the beautiful fig tree shaded courtyard in the front of the grand terrace facade, with ambient fairy lights setting the tone, and the comfy NYC leather booths lining the hall to the sexy back bar.
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.
We are in love with the latest small bar in our hood Ms.Cattea, Sydney's only tea bar with an alcohol license. Housed in a beautiful, chic space at the fountain end of Darlinghurst Road as it turns into Macleay Street, Potts Point. The interior channels the owner and founder Cathy Zhang’s Chinese heritage, with elegant Mother of Pearl chandeliers above and bright red canisters of classic tea flavours lining the shelves behind the bar.
It’s time to change-it-up in time for summer by adding Vermuteria - a modern day homage to old-school European wine and aperitivo bars - to our Potts Point Dining Tour repertoire. The warm, red neon lite room is located on the former site of Cafe Hernandez, a 24-hour Spanish Cafe that lived at the site for 50 years, on the lower half of Kings Cross Road.
As part of our Tenth Anniversary online celebrations we raided the archives to create a gallery of our past events as a tribute to everyone who contributed their love and energy to the success of our curated dining events. Thanks to everyone in the online and IRL community for your thoughtful messages, comments and posts on our recent tenth anniversary. It’s heartening to know that we have enriched so many people’s dining experiences of inner city Sydney.
The first incarnation of Bang Tang started out on Llankelly Place - our favourite laneway in Potts Point. It was essentially a hole-in-the-wall lunchtime + early dinner salad bar, that was a big hit with the locals especially the gym bunnies. A couple of years on owner + operator Nat moved down to leafy Victoria Street and opened a casual eatery with al fresco dining and a lovely vibe on a summers evening.
We have always been mad-keen fans of Bar Sopra,since the venue first opened in the heart of Potts Point in October 2020. Pumping on summer nights when al fresco dining is encouraged. There’s a Spanish theme running through the menu of seafood, meat and vegetarian tapas, cheese and charcuterie boards.
