A Glow-in-the-Dark Dessert Cave Has Popped Up in Martin Place

If you work up an appetite while roaming Vivid this year, make tracks to Martin Place, is looking like one of the festival's tastiest, most spectacular hubs for a pit stop.

One reason for this is Motti+Smith, who've collaborated with Stagekings on Lux Populi. It's a massive glowing tree made of a kilometre's length of neon rope, which reflects nearby buildings, creating a corridor of light. Beneath the branches, you'll find Porteno, Sydney's legends of Argentinian fare, cooking on a roaring open fire. And joining them will be a bunch of guest chefs, including Luke Powell of LP Quality Meats and Ibrahim Kasif of Stanbuli. Keep an eye on the Vivid-inspired specials menu, which will change weekly.

Match your smoky goodness with a pick from the bar, which will be big on boutique drops and crafty numbers from around New South Wales. There'll be gin and vodka by Archie Rose, beer by Cattleyard Brewing and wines by Azure.

Come sugar-hit time, step into Motti+Smith's magical Glow Cave Dessert Bar. Inside, you'll be wandering through a wonderland of desserts that glow-in-the-dark, including glowing donuts. Be sure to turn up in your '80s fluoros. Judgement will be left at the cave door, alongside your health kick.
