Wine bar downstairs, restaurant up, this spot from gun sommeliers is revitalising Stanley St

Owners Harry Hunter and Bridget Raffal bring experience from three-hatted Sixpenny, Where’s Nick and Bentley to their new labour of love, which feels a little like the caves à vin of Paris.

Mishy’s is like a big-hearted dinner party. So why aren’t more people talking about it?

With hand-selected market fare, $600 worth of crystals and a menu reminiscent of Three Blue Ducks, this beautiful, sunlit restaurant has a bright creativity and personality all its own.

Banh mi martini? This westside bar looks like an antique shop, but its drinks are totally new

The aptly named Second Hand Dealer is an “experimental” new bar hiding in plain sight. And its cocktails are as kooky as the collectables.

Getting a table at Cafe Sydney’s been hard for 26 years. The view’s not the only reason why

Myffy Rigby revisits the tourist magnet and finds a restaurant preserved in the ’90s that still offers the goods.
