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.
We have a new player onboard for our Darlinghurst dining tours: introducing Bar Nina on the corner of Crown & Stanley Streets. Right smack in the middle of East Sydney the restaurant opened in April 2021 - mere months before Lockdown 2.0 kicked-in. We had intentions of popping-down to check-out the menu and vibe but Rona got in the way. So it was lovely to finally go there recently for a Saturday afternoon rose & oysters and discover that yes this is a place we definitely want to bring our guests!
Opening auspiciously on the first day of Spring, Bloom Cafe Aperitivo is a small but fabulous space is bought to you by the very creative Mauro & Amel of House Bar & Bistrot. The cafe is very conveniently situated just behind the restaurant on Kellett Place.
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 are thrilled to announce that we are now including hot new comer Ezra on our Potts Point dining walk route. So far the Baklava ice cream for the dessert course, accompanied by a stunning Gilbert late harvest Reisling, Orange NSW, has been a big hit with our local guests.
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.
Global Grapevine was founded in 2012 by father and son duo, Robert and Heath Felton. The group’s endeavour is to bring a carefully selected portfolio of premium French, Italian and Spanish wines and champagnes, never before seen in Australia, from some of the finest vineyards in Europe, direct to the cellars of Australian restaurateurs and wine lovers.
