a’Mare

a’Mare

a'Mare beckons with the charm of Italy right at the picturesque Barangaroo waterfront. Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Alessandro Pavoni, in his quest to revive the lost art of gueridon or trolley service, has brought a touch of Venice and Milan to a'Mare. Dishes are thoughtfully finished tableside with utmost care and attention—a nod to the rich traditions of Italian dining.

Taking its name from the Italian word “a’mare," meaning "by the sea," it perfectly captures the essence of its stunning waterfront setting and seafood-centric Italian menu. From the mouthwatering scampi gratinati to the tableside preparation of trofie al pesto, each dish is a story from the chef’s childhood in Northern Italy retold through flavours. A 15-page wine list complements the menu, featuring wines from Australia to Italy, premium spirits and cocktails.

Perched in Barangaroo's Crown Tower, Woodcut, founded by renowned Chef Ross Lusted and restaurateur Sunny Lusted of The Bridge Room, offers an innovative dining experience.

Breaking away from traditional menus, Woodcut's offerings are categorized by these elements for an immersive dining experience. Start with wood oven-baked bread and make your way through Woodcut's signature Stone Axe 9+ Wagyu sirloin, expertly grilled over an open flame. Complete the journey with a glass of wine (or two) from Woodcut’s cellar.

Soot

Soot 

Soot is where the sizzle of Korean barbecue meets the Aussie steakhouse vibe. As you step into the restaurant, you'll notice the sleek modern interior, but the real star of the show here is their impressive lineup of premium cuts (yes, they have wagyu!). Don't miss out on their unique dishes like the marinated galbi beef ribs perfected with chef David Bae’s 50-year-old family recipe. 

Now, what's a meal without great drinks, right? Soot doesn't disappoint in this department either. Korean spirits, sake, and soju are a must in K-bbq, or take The Butcher's Table set menu to a new high and pair it with cocktails like miso sours and soju spritzes to tickle your taste buds.
