Favourite bar in Sydney: Mjølner in Redfern is probably my favourite spot, a fantastic menu and really experiential dining. I love taking people for the first time and seeing their reactions to the entire process, it never fails to entertain. Definitely get a cocktail and the chocolate bone brûlée for dessert.
