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.
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.
We started our Australian Travel Exchange 2021 on Sunday afternoon with a booking of three key luxe travel guests of Destination NSW on a curated lunchtime dining walk of Surry Hills on a Sunday afternoon. We met our guests upstairs at Tilly Mays Sydney who had just returned from hitting Bondi for a surf lesson and were in need of sustenance. The generous all Australian cheese board accompanied by a refreshing Pizzini, King Valley prosecco hit the spot perfectly.
We have just completed our first Australian Travel Exchange trade show at the International Convention Centre (ICC) at Darling Harbour. Consisting of a hybrid event of live and online appointments between Buyers and Sellers of the Australian travel industry over a ten day period. Offerings included: accommodation, tours, online travel websites and other services and products suitable for the domestic and overseas markets.
Every six months or so the kids at Dulcie’s create a new cocktail each. They then invite the Quaffing Club - regular bar flys and industry supporters of the bar - to meet and test the new flavours and give our expert option on whether we think the latest inventions pass muster. We are not at liberty to discuss the members or rules of the club, but let’s just say we all know our vermouth from our liqueur and leave it at that.
Check-out our menu and images from Thursday night's very enjoyable Crafty Dining Potts Point event as part of the opening week of Sydney Craft Week and Good Food Month. We’ll let the photos from the fabulous Julie Samerski do the talking.
Café de la Fontaine is a French Café, Creperie, Patisserie, French Ice creamery and antique store located right in the heart of Potts Point, chosen for its vibrancy and long history as a destination of chic and elegance.
Kings Cross Distillery is located at the intersection where the once mischievous glittering half mile of Darlinghurst Road, meet the increasingly glamorous Macleay Street of Potts Point. The stripped-back brick space was formerly a speakeasy and gambling den in the 1960s, before becoming an adult bookstore named Private Book Shop and later Ecstasy Adult Bookstore in the late 1970’s. Upstairs there was the usual, shadowy, pleasures of a by-gone era befitting of the postcode 2011.
