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.
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.
Gelato Messina Creative Department have limited tickets available for their seasonal September menu at their new Marrickville location. This seasonal menu is designed to be an experimental, immersive and indulgent six-course degustation, showcasing the perfect balance of sweet, savoury and umami. Each dish is balanced with a gelato element, paired with complementing non-alcoholic drinks. They also have an eclectic drinks menu with bespoke cocktails, natural wines and aperitifs for an add-on.
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.
Our newest addition to the Darlinghurst Dining Tour is bei bar and bistro restaurant, located in the iconic Taylor Square precinct, the heart of Darlo. The concept for Bei Bar & Bistro was conceived during a leisurely bike ride. Chef Felix Rutz, in collaboration with his partner Leigh Cholakos, was struck with inspiration as he pedaled past the vacant space next to the Oxford Hotel. Set in the ground floor of a historic early modernist building from 1923, the restaurant offers prime people-watching real estate overlooking the bustling square, showcasing the charm of a bygone era.
Our latest dining discovery, Dead Ringer, is on leafy Bourke Street in the heart of Surry Hills. Housed in a grand terrace house, with handsome wood joinery & leather upholstery, the two-sided dining room frames an equally handsome bar. The team has a genuine love of good hospitality and food paired with classy cocktails. We describe Dead Ringer to our guests as ‘a restaurant with a well-stocked bar’.
Last week we tried the amazing new Christmas Gin from Four Pillars Gin whilst on our Surry Hills dining tour with a lovely American couple. There is a sweet story behind the making of this spirit each Christmas. This gin is Cam’s tribute to four things he loves: Australia, Christmas, gin and his late mum, Wilma.
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.
