This French-style newcomer was opened by Anton Forte and Jason Scott, who are behind Sydney bars Shady Pines Saloon and the Baxter Inn. Head down the stairs, sit at the bar and peruse an abridged menu, or book a table in the candlelit dining room, accented by fringed lamps and heavy red drapes, for the full experience. Dishes ranging from an expertly prepared duck to Riverine rib-eye or Grenobloise-style roasted cod are best paired with any of the carefully selected vintages on its leather-bound wine list.
