Sydney’s culinary elite will be cooking up a storm bang in the middle of the CBD on December 2 and you can buy a seat at the table. Open For Lunch is part of the NSW Government’s Summer in Sydney event series, helping to bring people back into the streets and stimulate local economy.
Open For Lunch is a one day, four-precinct activation across Sydney CBD. These hugely popular lunchtime events have almost sold out but if you’re quick, you can still get tickets to a great meal and great experience.
The best in Sydney’s hospitality scene will be behind the menus: Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie, Merivale’s Jordan Toft (mimi’s) and Mike Eggert (Totti’s), Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz (Porteño), Esteban, NOLA smokehouse, Rockpool Dining Group and Anna Polyviou.
Four locations along George Streets between Park and Hunter streets will each offer a unique theme and menu.
– If you like sitting on hay bales, enjoying a delicious spin on a Nashville BBQ from Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz (Porteño, Bodega x Wyno, Bastardo, Humble Bakery), sipping cold beers and Tennessee whiskey while listening to some good ‘ol country music from Nashville’s finest Joshua Hedley, you should probably dust off your boots and get yourself to The George Street Hoedown.
– Take a boogie down George St at Merivale’s Disco Picnic, featuring a three-course meal from Jordan Toft – mimi’s and Mike Eggert – Totti’s, with entertainment by Groove City.
– Release your inner child and enjoy the carnival-themed food spectacular at the YCK Fair, featuring dishes from Cash Only Diner, Stitch Bar, Esteban, PS40 and The Barber Shop including never before seen collaborations with NOLA Smokehouse, Rockpool Bar & Grill and Dessert Queen, Anna Polyviou; or
– Visit the original home of George St’s OPEN FOR LUNCH at Feast for the Senses, where you can enjoy a three-course meal from Luke Mangan’s glass brasserie, with wines expertly matched by Sommelier, Samantha Payne and entertainment by Ministry of Sound Orchestra and guest vocalists.
