Jonathan Barthelmess and Sam Christie are gearing up to welcome a new addition to their growing restaurant portfolio.
The Apollo Group will open a European-style all-day eatery in the former Bourke Street Bakery and Paper Bird location in Sydney’s Potts Point later in the year.
The unnamed Crick Avenue restaurant is just a short stroll away from The Apollo and Cho Cho San and is the sixth venue from the group, which also operates Greca and Yoko in Brisbane and a Tokyo iteration of The Apollo in Ginza.
While more details are to be released in the coming weeks, the team hopes “it will be a vibrant gathering place for people at any time of the day” and that the restaurant will “complement the growing local food offering in the Potts Point community”.
Barthelmess spoke to Good Food on the launch, confirming the eatery will operate seven days a week for lunch and dinner.
The opening marks an exciting new chapter for the group to explore a different style of food, with the group’s other eateries focusing on Greek and Japanese flavours.
There’s no denying the continued boom of European-style bistros opening in the city, with 2022 seeing steak tartare, various proteins and frites, and crepes Suzette sweep across menus.
