Bacco Wine Bar
Tucked away under a set of escalators, a dark cosy Italian wine bar would be the last thing you expect in the lobby of Chifley Plaza. It is a very popular haunt for executives doting Italian suits during weekday lunches, but by night, it is an inviting space for a glass of wine or aperitivo with their...
Omerta Wine Bar
The much awaited Omerta Wine bar finally opened its doors after the disappearance of Gastronomia Pelagio on Victoria St Darlinghurst. With the competition of Thomas Dux and Crown St grocer opening up nearby, the deli decided on an exit strategy and transformed the space into a beautiful wine bar. Under...

Cafe Sopra – Fratelli Fresh Potts Point
Situated at next to the lobby of the Ikon apartment building on Macleay St (the site of many failed restaurants, including twenty eleven) in Potts Point, comes a breath of fresh air to the neighbourhood. It’s definitely the fail-proof option for such a doomed space. Fratelli Fresh opens the second...
