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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
