• Middle Eastern • Potts Point
Booked 11 times today
Ezra brings the vibe of the Eastern Med to Potts Point. Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours have been whipped together – Sydney style. Combining fresh produce with punchy flavours. There’s cold beers, spritzy cocktails and plenty of juicy wines both natural + nostalgic. Join us inside, up at the counter or outside in one of our two courtyards. Share some plates and have some fun.We don't like to play favourites but you should DEFINITELY try the Hazelnut Muhammara (blitzed red pepper dip topped with a sprinkling of pomegranate, roast hazelnuts, coffee grinds and native honey). Pair it with one of our Jerusalem Bagels (baked like a baby sourdough [rather than boiled] and brushed with pomegranate molasses before it gets popped in the oven). The pumping soundtrack will take you on many journeys but at its heart-and-soul it's really all about your favourite 90s-sing-along-pop-power-ballads 🎶We're just around the corner from the Coke Sign and 2 mins from Kings Cross Station.

    I went on the day they started their bbq menu. Jesus Christ this place is phenomenal. Maybe it's because it's a new menu, but the food I ate was extraordinary. The chicken thigh was smokey and masculine, but the meat was so juicy and tender. The pork belly was amazing too. The passion fruit tart was the best dessert I had in Sydney, maybe anywhere. It was a god tier dessert.

    Great that The Apprentice has opened up again to serve the public as we should support our future chefs! Our food was well presented and respectfully well prepared, loved my Kangaroo fillet entree and the main of confit of salmon. Hubby had beef cheeks which was very tender. Dessert was also delicious. Great service by the front line students and overall very impressed! Will definitely be back when The Apprentice opens up next semester!!
