Melding captivating cuisine with beguiling beverages, Bouche on Bridge restaurant and basement bar has fast risen to popularity nestled into a space on Bridge Street in the heart of Sydney City. While formal in aesthetics, those who enter may unwind away from the city rush in calming surrounds, soothed by a flow of elements from a sleek downstairs bar to lavish upstairs dining. Begin in the basement, slowing down over oyster platters and charcuterie paired with aperitif style dry sherries, fortified wine, Champagne and sparkling by the glass. Once upstairs, peruse a collection of Old and New World wines alongside an ever-changing menu that adapts with the seasons to excite discerning palates. For a taste, savour a dish such as roast lamb with leeks, turnips and romesco.
