Fratelli Fresh and Sake Will Open at Manly Wharf Later This Year
The northern beaches wharf is currently getting a refurb — and the two Rockpool Dining Group restaurants will open in the new second storey.
As work continues on Manly Wharf's $9 million dollar makeover, its two second-storey restaurants — initially announced in 2016 — finally have an opening date. Yet another instalment of Rockpool Dining Group's Fratelli Fresh and Sake Restaurant and Bar are set to open in the brand new space in August this year.
This opening marks the fifth Sake location — with a sixth expected to open in Paramatta's Phillip Street precinct in 2020 — and the eight location for Fratelli Fresh, with another set to open in Darling Harbour this June. They'll join Hugos and Queen Chow when it opens this year to replace Papi Chulo in the always-busy Manly Wharf dining precinct. The revamped spaces will boast floor-to-ceiling harbour views and al fresco dining, along with new lifts, a private staircase and a joint lobby.
The group — which was formed when Urban Purveyor Group acquired Neil Perry's Rockpool Group — has certainly made good on its promise of rapid expansion. It currently has 57 venues to its name, and over the past 90 days alone, has signed more than 15 new leases. Eleven venues are expected to open across Australia before August this year, including Munich Brauhaus in Brisbane, six new Bavarian outposts across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland and a new "premium" burger concept called Burger Project Black Label, which is slated to open in the Sydney CBD this May. Another (currently unannounced) eight openings are expected before the end of the year. So if you think these restaurants are everywhere already, you'll only be seeing more of them.
Fratelli Fresh and Sake are expected to open at Manly Wharf in August 2018. We'll keep you updated on any new details.
