On the face of it, The Summertown Aristologist started as a restaurant that acts as a showcase for the wines of Anton van Klopper (Lucy Margaux) and Jasper Button (Commune of Buttons). But itâs a lot more than that. A whole lot more. Van Klopper sat on the lease of an old shop on Greenhhill…
In Fortitude Valleyâs restaurant mecca of James Street, Gerardâs Bistro has been turning out its take on the flavours of the Middle East since 2012. The more formal dining arm of the Moubarak familyâs Moubment Group (Laruche, Hatch + Co., Gerardâs Bar, The Defiant Duck) â whose Gallic-feeling name might make one think more of…
Gauge is Jerome Battenâs second venue, building from his well-loved Sourced Grocer in Newstead. While the latter captures a produce store and cafĂ© in one brief, Gauge dabbles in weekend breakfast/bunch trade, but is perhaps best known for its two, three and seven course dinner offerings. Batten opened Gauge in 2015 with chef Cormac Bradfield…
Fratelli Paradisoâs founders, brothers Giovanni and Enrico Paradiso, and Marco Ambrosino, all hail from Melbourne (like Sydneyâs other favourite adopted Italian-Australian son, Maurizio Terzini), but decided to make the move north to open their iconic Potts Point restaurant in 2001. Today, Fratelli Paradiso is unarguably one of Sydneyâs modern institutions, as it eases towards completing…
Located in an old Ford showroom in Hobartâs historic Mercury Newspaper Building, Franklin opened with somewhat of a pop. Founding chef, David Moyle, proved a revelation with his locally sourced and deceptively simple cooking, relying heavily on the sheer quality of the produce and fire-fuelled cooking. Franklin changed Hobart like Garagistes did, and not unlike…
Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandtâs influence on dining and drinking in Sydney is hard to underestimate. They now have four restaurants under their umbrella, but it was with Bentley Restaurant + Bar that they found their long stride. And that original combination of Hildebrandtâs adventurous wine selections and Savageâs clever cooking is as exciting as…
An offshoot of Potts Point’s much-loved Fratelli Paradiso, 10 William St shed the skin of modern Australian-Italian dining with a push away from fried calamari with rocket et al, delving into a new form of Italian experimentation. Respectful and subtle experimentation, that is. And while Fratelli Paradiso has long stuck to a wine list that…
Many restaurants talk about sustainability, but few take the issue as seriously as Harvest in the village of Newrybar, in Byron Bayâs hinterland â solar panels (aiming to be off the grid by 2022), grey-water recycling, green waste composting, a zero-waste kitchen, glass straws⊠the list really does go on. And aside from the food…
