After announcing the controversial closure of renowned Opera House restaurant Guillaume at Bennelong in July last year, owner Guillaume Brahimi will be opening the doors of his new culinary venture, simply titled Guillaume, on August 2. The newly renovated site sits on Paddington's Hargrave Street and was the former home of Italian restaurant Darcy's for more than 38 years. The French-born chef has stated that he intends for this 90-seat restaurant to be a more "personalised food experience" than his other culinary projects.

Brahimi has chosen a fitting location for Guillaume. The three-storey heritage building will sit alongside other Paddington greats such as 10 William Street, Buon Ricordo and the Four in Hand. Guillaume has stuck to his vision of a fine dining experience, and this is exactly what you can expect of the menu. Food options will be produce driven — a mix of favourites from the previous Guillaume at Bennelong and new dishes especially created for this restaurant. Drinks-wise, the primary focus will be on Australian influenced wine, all of which will be housed in the underground cellar of the restaurant.

Bookings for the new restaurant will open on July 9, and will be taken two months in advance. To enquire about reservations and events call (02) 9302 5222 or email [email protected]. Guillaume will open its doors at 92 Hargrave Street, Paddington a month later, on August 2.
