HOTEL CENTENNIAL
88 Oxford Street, Woollahra (02) 9362 3838 centennialhotel.com.au
All the talk around town at the moment is about the modern simplicity of the beautiful food at Hotel Centennial by Chef Justin North. Making a date to eat at the hotel High Table is certainly a terrific idea; yet the hotel also has a spacious bar area and delicious cocktails. The house Bellini, The Henson ($16) adds elderflower and rose syrup to its sparkling pear puree; while The Morley ($18) is a G+T update: Tanqueray, with orange blossom, Quina Fina tonic water and grapefruit bitters. Cocktails like The Chrisine Keeler or The Kate Moss are also available by the carafe ($29). There is a lovely range of wines by the glass. The same attention to detail in service is offered in the bar as the bistro, and of course, the bar snacks from North’s kitchen are too good to miss.
