Matt Moran’s modern Australian institution still does it like nowhere else in town. Powered by an impressive kitchen garden, the menu is designed for long lunches and beautiful dinners that celebrate the seasons.
The new-look Light Brigade has classic pub vibes on the ground floor and a bistro upstairs. Keep heading skyward to the 1920s-inspired cocktail bar, or the cherry on top: a Miami-inspired rooftop with epic views of the city skyline.
Moncur has been in business since 1993. The food here deftly deploys Australian produce across its concise menu of well-executed European dishes. The tome of a wine list is filled with Australian and European pours (at occasionally dizzying price-points).
Come for a globetrotting pub menu that spans standout curries and DIY braised-beef bao to hulking burgers. Plus, beers on tap, a crowd-pleasing wine list and a lush courtyard vertical garden.
