Snack Bar: Nobu at Home, Sex and the City Hits AP Bread and More Local Food News This Week

What’s on around town

• Head to gluten free mecca Wholegreens Bakery (in Bondi, Alexandria or the CBD) from Friday June 20 for a chocolatey exclusive with Pana Organic. The fruit and nut choc tart – a shortcrust pastry shell filled with cherry jam, coconut cream ganache and a chunk of Pana’s fruit and nut flavour – is available for one week only.

• Lunch at CBD Greek restaurant Ela Ela means a $39 feast. From Tuesday to Thursday, between midday and 3pm, you’ll break up the work day with house-baked pita, taramosalata or whipped feta dip, and your choice of main. Plus, a wine or beer on arrival.

• AP Bakery is turning the old Cafe Freda’s Taylor Square corner into Hot Fellas Bakery, to celebrate the release of And Just Like That season three. Head in from 10am on Friday June 27, and from 8am on Saturday June 28 and Sunday June 29, to get into Vegemite babka, Golden Gaytime cream puffs, signature AP buttermilk croissants and hot coffee. Plus, merch (and hot fellas).

• Crown Street’s Ito is warming up winter lunches with a $49 ramen set menu. Head in between Wednesday and Friday for a brothy shio kohaku bowl, with edamame, veggie tempura and mochi-wrapped sorbet to finish.

• You can now get Nobu at home, for an event or a very nice night in. There are packages, sashimi platters and a la carte dishes – all ready for you to pick up from Crown Sydney.

What we covered this week

• Blackheath wine bar Frankie & Mo’s wants chefs to move bush – and the first to take up the six-week kitchen residency is a P&V chef bringing a menu inspired by her Egyptian and Lebanese roots.

• Five knockout hot chocolates that deliver everything from scorched house-made marshmallows to Parisian-style chocolat chaud elegance. Plus, the hot-cold pour at gelaterias loved by Peter Gilmore.

• Bar Vincent quietly closed on Sunday June 15. It comes just two months after the Bar Copains team took over the beloved Darlinghurst dining room. But they’re planning something new – and it opens soon.
