of time ....this place in Victoria Street Darlinghurst used to be L'Hotel. I went to the opening of L'Hotel. That ages me. Groovy people, groovy drinks, groovy food. Food aimed strictly at drinking, not fine or even medium fine dining ...actually just good "drunk food". Like the fries sprayed with truffle flavoured oil and topped with parmesan cheese - a big bowl for $10. Or the zucchini flowers stuffed with goats cheese and dripping with truffle flavoured honey ($18 for 3 flowers).
How about Ortiz anchovies with "Crusty" bread? I love anchovies with bread ...but to make this dish worth having it really needs great butter and a piece of just baked bread (unless you are using a tranche of Sonoma Miche).
Cosy place with small areas spread over a long passage-like area that links Victoria Street to Darlinghurst Road.
Loud music so no intimate chats, somewhat grubby young but fairly attentive staff ..quick with the drinks.
It's good a new generation is sampling this tres cool space.
