Overview

Located a stone's throw from the new Victoria Cross Metro station, this trendy four-venue hospo hub has added yet another reason for Sydney's foodies to venture north of the harbour. Guests can start their day at Sol Bread + Wine, a bakery and cafe by day and an intimate wine bar by night that channels an Iberian spirit with design cues from Italy and Spain. A palette of earth tones is accented with geometric tiles and warm timber furniture, creating a space that effortlessly transitions from a breakfast bakery to a laidback cicchetteria serving top drops and sophisticated snacks.

Ascending a bold red spiral staircase delivers diners to Soluna. Open from lunch through to dinner, this 110-seat restaurant, with a 60-seat bar and 30-seat, armchair-filled lounge, is another flexible concept that is as much a place for intimate catch-ups with friends over a glass of wine as it is a go-to for larger parties celebrating a major occasion. Changing gears, the colourful Japanese diner Genzo boasts a temperature-controlled sake room, a selection of expertly balanced, Japanese-inspired cocktails and a menu focused on raw dishes and kushiyaki prepared over a traditional robata grill.

Accessible from the street, swish providore Una stocks gourmet produce, artisanal goods and pantry essentials as well as house-made pastas and other take-home gourmet meals. A considered edit of local and imported ingredients, from cheeses and charcuterie to boutique wines and spirits, makes this luxury grocer a boon for any North Sydney gastronomes hoping to wow at their next dinner party.
