Bopp & Tone, a Sydney restaurant and bar by hospitality group Applejack is opening soon in Sydney’s CBD with a nostalgic nod to Sydney of the past.
Located at 60 Carrington Street, Bopp & Tone is a tribute to the Applejack founders’ grandfathers, Keith ‘Bopp’ Evans and Anthony ‘Tone’ Adams. Designed by Luchetti Krelle, the venue reflects the nostalgic and optimistic post WW2 era they lived in. Embodying every day opulence and grandeur, the style is lived-in luxury, with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Features include heavy marbles, classic tiles and textures, dark and moody timber furnishings, along with an alfresco dining terrace, private dining room and Applejack’s signature love of greenery.
The Australian menu, created by Head Chef Sa Va’afusuaga and Group Executive Chef Jason Roberson, centres around honest and generous share food with Mediterranean influences, and is predominantly cooked on the in-house wood grill or charcoal oven. Using only the most seasonal produce, with a focus on seafood and both cured and cooked meats, signatures include char-grilled whole Hawkesbury river calamari, free-range spatchcock, pasture fed Brooklyn Valley steaks and botanical fare.
A concise cocktail list has been developed by Group Bars Manager Lachy Sturrock and Bar Manager Craig Kerrison, featuring popular classic cocktails tailored with Australian ingredients and Mediterranean charm. Applejack has collaborated with sommelier consultant Dan Simmons to curate a wine list that aims to champion those at the forefront of sustainable viticulture and oenology in Australia and abroad. Celebrating the efforts of these producers, the venue showcases wines of substance, of a time and place that complement our climate and food.
Founders Ben Carroll and Hamish Watts wanted to create an intrinsically Sydney experience within a unique and distinctive setting which embodies nostalgic Sydney of the past and reminiscent of times gone by.
Bopp & Tone opens in November 2018.
