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 zip-zap across the Tasman was all about celebrating the joy of togetherness with family and friends. One particularly delightful dining occasion was hosted at Daphne’s Taverna, conveniently nestled in the vibrant heart of Ponsonby Road. We also took the opportunity to check out the fabulous Bar Magda, a Filippo cuisine restaurant located below street level on Cross Street, just behind bustling Karangahape Road.
When we are on a dining tour we often recommend books about the Sydney food scene that provide more in-depth information about the vibrant and ever-evolving culinary talents of our city. By delving into these books, our guests gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse range of cuisines, talented chefs and the hidden gems that make Sydney a food lover's paradise.
One of the key recommendations we make to our guests during our dining tours is to immerse themselves in a book on Sydney post-tour. As we journey between venues, we provide snippets of history about each precinct, enriching the experience with tales of the characters and venues that have shaped the city. Understanding these anecdotes not only adds depth to the journey but also enhances the overall entertainment of our guests during and after the tour. A good book on Sydney can offer a treasure trove of insights and stories that bring the city's past to life, making the present-day experience all the more meaningful.
We are still processing our recent trip back to Aotearoa. After four years between visits there were a lot of changes on the dining scene of our original homeland. There are pockets of beautifully restored early century buildings with well-designed streetscapes - such as Britomart downtown and the hip, fun venues in the lovingly restored 19th Century St Kevin's Arcade on K'Rd giving us hope for a bright and innovative future of dining in Aotearoa.
Our newest addition to our Darlinghurst Dining Tour is Fortuna restaurant, located on the Darlo end of Victoria Street. Modern and stylish this dining room offers a unique and contemporary experience. The interior is elegant and sophisticated, featuring a fresh minimalist design with black and white décor, sleek furniture, and a beautiful lighting scheme that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Featuring street art and by-fold windows, opening out onto the street. Ideal on a hot summers evening for great people watching opportunities and soaking-up the laid-back Sydney vibe.
