This month we’re excited to welcome Toei, the Korean/Japanese fusion restaurant to our Surry Hills Dining Tour. On a bittersweet note, we say goodbye to Leigh and Felix at Bei after 20 amazing years in hospitality. We wish them the best in their next chapter. Lastly, we loved reading Your Table is Ready by Michael Cecchi-Azzolina, an honest and humourous memoir about life in the service industry.
This month we are happy to announce our newest addition, Bar Conte, to our Surry Hills Tour. The World’s first dedicated Negroni Bar and Italian Restaurant in Sydney. The menu features Italian dishes ranging from light Aperitivo snacks to hearty pastas. We have raided the bookshelf again! This time to embark on a global culinary journey, with essential reads that delve into the recipes, anecdotes and the dining hot spots on Planet Earth. As always, stay tuned for more updates and discoveries from Sydney's ever-evolving food scene.
Continuing the dynamic theme from last month’s missive – we have lots of news to share from our dining tour precincts. Firstly, we're thrilled to announce the opening of The Hook, a unique Kings Cross venue with an old New York vibe of oysters, classic cocktails and a nightly crooner at the baby grand piano. In other news, we're delighted to introduce The Waratah, an innovative new venue on our Darlinghurst tour. With its captivating ambiance and beautifully designed up and downstairs spaces this bar and restaurant is a great addition to the Victoria street dining scene. Lastly, we bid a temporary farewell to Big Poppa's as the crew take a break. While their closure is temporary due to stalled development in the precinct we will still miss the Lamb Ragu and late license venue on Darlinghurst’s Oxford Street.
