Sydneyโ€™s Love Affair With Fine French Dining Rolls On With Brasserie 1930

With the harbour cityโ€™s latest hotel, Capella Sydney, opening next week, The Bentley Restaurant Group is busy putting the finishing touches on one of the propertyโ€™s signature restaurants, Brasserie 1930.

Considering the long-standing hospitality guns behind some of Sydneyโ€™s best restaurants, from the eponymous Bentley to Yellow and Monopole, their shot at classic French brasserie dining should be well received. This is despite the density of quality French restaurants that already pepper just about every corner of Sydney. After all, the Capella brand has a long-standing reputation for procuring some very fine dining scenes for its luxury hotels.

The 120-seat Brasserie 1930, framed by the heritage sandstone buildingโ€™s Young Street-facing side, seems to be focused on curing, smoking, fermenting, preserving and pickling techniques complemented by a central charcoal grill thatโ€™ll be on full display for diners sitting by the open kitchen. Steak should be a big reason to head along here, though thereโ€™s also a nice range of menu items like raw Paradise prawns with fermented chilli mayonnaise, Flinders Island scallop with brown butter and finger lime and glazed quail with whipped feta and green olive salsa.

Substantials like Blackmore 9+ rib-eye, coal-roasted Murray Cod with pepperberry butter and chives, and whole roasted duck with roasted plum, fennel, spinach and glazed eschalot take pride of place on the menu and echo the classicism on display at Brasserie 1930.

Given itโ€™s from the Bentley crew, wine will also play a big part in the experience. Co-owner Nick Hildebrandt has reportedly put together a massive wine program that nods to both Australian and European labels alongside lesser-known producers, totalling 400 drops with a rotating by-the-glass list.
