The Local

I really need to pay more attention. Somehow this whole new enormous building popped up and I didn’t notice. Rather Space 1999 it is too, all white and curvy and schmick.
Walk through the ANZ foyer and out the back courtyard is a small collection of eateries, including this little gem.
Good range of beers, menu of many good things to eat including nice truffled chips, chili nuts and an OK charcuterie board. We didn’t eat a meal but we had plenty of this fare — the duck rilettes was great but be sure to get extra bread.
Perfecto for a meeting of after-​worky nature and accordingly full of suitably after-​worky types.
Fairy pricey but a nice hangout and worthy of a visit.

Early days yet (they only opened today) but the outside space will come into its own in summer. The menu is loaded with fine dining & they favour wine over beer but if the enthusiasm is matched with quality then Sydney’s CBD will be enhanced by «The Local».
