We love the Macleay Street lifestyle

Constantly evolving with the times, yet infused with historical buildings and tales of days gone by. Grandiose mansions, leafy laneways, vibrant nightlife and café culture. Visit the Macleay street galleries or revel in the art of fine dining. The inviting, lively streetscape offers something for everyone. Set high on a ridge, it is one of Sydney’s oldest neighborhoods. Appealing and advancing. Potts Point.

Cafes & Restaurants

1. Gastro Park

5-9 Roslyn St
The name sucks. Everyone knows it, no ones denying it, and theres no point harping on about it. And yet you cant avoid it because GastroPark (shudder) is the restaurant that Sydney cant stop talking about. It occupies the old Barons site, which was home very briefly to Blanco, followed by Steak Haus (Beach Haus, the bar for holidaying Euro clubkids, is still upstairs) and is the project of Grant King - the russet-haired Kiwi and ex-head chef of Pier. There’s a...

2. Cafe Sopra - Potts Point

81 Macleay St
The second version of Fratelli, the massively popular Italian-with-a-British-slant-café-plus-fruit-and-veg-store has moved in on the site of the short-lived French/Indian restaurant, Le Khan on Macleay St in Potts Point. Unlike the inner-city arts hub of Waterloo, Potts Point opens at brunch time and stays open for dinner (for those who cant drag themselves out of bed before Saturday arvo, this is a major blessing) serving the likes of a scotch steak - battered out until slim, covered...

3. Ms Gs

155 Victoria St
RESTAURANT REVIEW: Just when you thought you knew chef Dan Hong, he comes out with a red-hot, left-of-field doozy of a new restaurant with all the punk and sass we always wished for at Lotus, combined with some damn fine cooking. He and head chef Jowett Yu are at the helm of Ms G’s – the mod- Asian restaurant you can’t afford not to be at, in and around. Ignore the name (M.S.G – geddit?) and ignore the deliberately ‘street’ interior design work. But whatever you do, don’t ignore what Hong...

4. Neild Avenue

10 Neild Avenue
Maurice Terzini is the man behind Sydney restaurants to the rich, famous and blonde, Icebergs and North Bondi Italian Food, as well as Melbourne’s Giuseppe, Arnaldo and Sons (GAS). Terzini is not a man afraid to get his hands dirty. Just watch him work the room on a typical night in his new restaurant, Neild Avenue, in Rushcutters Bay: one minute he’s air-kissing models, the next he’s clearing plates. It’s like the man was genetically engineered to open restaurants. He never sits...

5. Wilburs Place

36 Llankelly Place
So everybody’s talking about food trucks and laneways and late-night dining and food trucks in laneways open late, but how about this for bucking a trend: a good restaurant in the heart of the eastern suburbs offering main-course meals for under $20? No, we haven’t been tripping balls on acid. It’s a real thing. It’s happening right now in the laneways of Kings Cross. Wilbur’s Place is just next door to LL Wine and Dine and just down the street from the brand new bar from the Eau de Vie guys,...

6. BlancHaru

1/21 Elizabeth Bay Road
Chef Haru Inukai has an impressive resume - hes trained under culinary legends like Frances Joel Robuchon, cooked for Keanu Reeves and has spent the last few years as executive chef at Galileo, the Observatory hotels restaurant, creating a fusion of French and Japanese cuisine. Now, he has struck out on his own, leaving the gilded cage of hotel dining to open his own bistro. Were guessing BlancHaru is pronounced like a combo of the French word for white and Inukais first name. The décor...

7. Fei Jai

31 Challis Avenue
Fat Boy? Maybe the owners went with that because the Cantonese for “skinny white chicks who smoke a lot” didn’t sound quite as snappy as “fei jai”. Anyway, the chubby blokes are thin on the ground, and the slender and gabby Potts Pointers are packed tightly into the glow of the dim, dark single room and its tables out on Challis Avenue, smoking wherever and as much as they can. Fei Jai is loosely modelled on Lau’s Family Kitchen, the popular homestyle Chinese restaurant opened a couple of years...

8. Ithaka Kafeneion

13/24-30 Springfield Ave
Kings Cross by day is very much a lucky dip. Potts Points well-heeled rub shoulders with party-hardy backpackers, while the odd straggler can be seen wandering about doing the walk of shame, looking lost and confused by the daylight. Throw in a few of the citys fringe dwellers and the rainbows complete. But look beyond the neon and fishnets of the red-light district and you will discover a capillary system of laneways and malls that offer a gentle reprieve from the main drag. Duck into...

9. Brass Bistro and Bar

57-59 Macleay St
Oh, Yellow Bistro and Food Store. How we loved your tiny, house-made, coconut-covered marshmallows and apricot slice, and your surly, surly floor staff. Alas you are gone, sweet patisserie, but not forgotten. And in your place is a perfectly respectable bistro and restaurant opened by chef Darren Taylor, last seen working at Buon Ricordo. Brass isn’t so much a transmutation as a transition from Yellow – a cosy little restaurant and patisserie selling some of the best sweets on the eastern...

10. Barrio Chino

28-30 Bayswater Rd
Oh my god! It’s another! Mexican! restaurant! This one is brought to you by Peter Lew and Nicole Galloway, the couple behind Potts Point Canto-diner Fei Jei. Barrio Chino, named for the various Chinatowns that exist in Latin America, is smack-bang in the middle of the action on Bayswater Road in the Cross. The front part of the space is taken up with the bar, which is pretty damn good. The bartenders are working with an excellent list including Palomas, Micheladas, and Tommy’s Margaritas by the...
