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.
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.
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.
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.
We are thrilled to share with you the first batch of images from our shoot with Tourism Australia. It was an intense but ultimately fun afternoon of shooting stills and video around Potts Point in late April. We enjoyed a charcuterie and Australian cheese plate at the elegant Spanish inspired Sopra. With cocktails, originally created by Nayuta Bar in Osaka, made with great attention by Kennedy CK. We then moved onto mains at the charming "house of mezze" Ezra, located in a grand terrace on Kellett Street.
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.
