A French neo-bistro: Bistrot 916 brings a cool, understated elegance to its landmark Challis Avenue site in the Paris end of Potts Point.Open for dinner 7 nights, with lunch Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Osteria di Russo & Russo est détenu par le père et le fils Pino et Marc Russo, et supporté par une équipe dévouée «d'honorables italiens» dont quelques-uns qui ont travaillé ensemble autrefois au Bridge Room, à Sydney's CBD.
Leurs plats sont classiques et combinés avec des saveurs italiennes. Toutefois, le Chef cuisinier Jason Saxby utilise rarement des ingrédients importés et est influencé davantage par les saisons et les techniques de cuisson modernes plutôt que par les recettes traditionnelles. Leur carte des vins vous suggère des classiques de Piedmont et de la Toscane, tout en mettant en vedette d'excellents choix provenant de Nebbiolo et Trebianno cultivés localement.
Le style du restaurant est basé sur les trattorias italiennes classiques des années 1970, mais vous sert des plateaux à partager et vous propose une expérience de resto-bar.
Open 7 nights. In partnership with Linden Pride of the renowned Dante, New York, Bobbie’s has the underground, free-spirited energy of a speakeasy with the refined, sophisticated flair of a Neil Perry institution. Located in the basement of 24 Bay St, Double Bay, the same Neville Gruzman-designed heritage building as Neil’s pan-Asian-fusion, Songbird, Bobbie’s was named for Linden’s grandfather, the legendary radio broadcaster Bob Rogers, who mingled with the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in their heyday. It's all about mid-century furnishings, plush velvet, live jazz, finger food and world-class cocktails. It’s about keeping things in the family: when Linden was 17, he was polishing glasses at Neil’s Rockpool restaurant. In a full-circle moment, they’ve come together to showcase their passion for produce-driven experiences.We keep a number of tables just for walk-ins, so if online bookings are full, we may still have tables available.
