Overview
Every suburb needs the essentials. For most cities that would be a grocer, a coffee shop, a chemist and some form of semi-reliable public transport. But these days, Sydney is spoiling its residents — if not with an abundance of public transport options, then with a tonne of poke places. And Balmain is the latest Sydney 'burb to cop one with Bowl.R opening on Darling Street today.
It seems like a poke joint opens every other week in Sydney at the moment, but this will be Balmain's first eatery to serve up the Hawaiian raw fish salad. Like most of its competitors, Bowl.R will give you the option to build your own bowl with ingredients like trout, tuna and miso cauliflower as well as all the regular toppings. From Saturday, October 28 the eatery will also be serving up breakfast on weekends from 8am.
But what sets this poke place apart is its dessert option: vegan soft serve. Bowl.R's Vice Cream — which is dairy-, gluten- and refined sugar-free — will be available in a cone or a smoothie bowl.
Bowl.R opens today — Saturday, October 21 — and to celebrate, the team will be giving the first 100 customers either a poke bowl or vegan ice cream cone. Store opens at midday, so get in quick.
Bowl.R is now open shop one, 308 Darling Street, Balmain. It will be open daily from 12–8pm and, from October 28, all day from 8am–8pm on weekends. For more info, visit their Facebook page.
