Poly, Cho Cho San, Bar Clementine, and More: Introducing The Resy At Home Hit List

Because one of Sydney’s most iconic establishments has rolled out takeout. The Surry Hills wine bar has imagined meal kits to finish at home. Think ‘nduja bread and garlic eggs, or gnocchi with smoked butter sauce. They’ve been selling out quickly, so act fast. Peruse their menu and order here. 

Because pasta aficionados can finally get Ragazzi’s legendary dishes at home. This tiny wine bar is delivering handmade pasta and vino boxes within 5km of its Angel Place kitchen; each box includes enough food for two (expect dishes like rigatoni with Wagyu beef shin, or a classic Sicilian conchiglie alla Norma) with a couple of bottles of wine. You can also get Sydney’s favourite snack delivered: the Iggy’s sourdough smothered with chive butter and Cantabrian anchovy. 

Because this Stanmore fine diner’s meals are about as good as it gets. Perfect for a treat, Sixpenny’s multi-course meals are available for pick up or local delivery at dinner time. Options like mushroom and marsala pie from a three-hatted restaurant are predictably sublime, plus produce boxes and baked treats like custard tarts, opera cake, and a beautifully crumbly carrot cake are available to take home. Order here.

Because pork buns and sashimi are essential cornerstones of a well-rounded diet. As well as a considered menu of Japanese-style dishes, this Potts Point izakaya has also put together the aforementioned sashimi and bao packs, plus other at-home essentials, including comforting chicken gyoza in broth, and spicy noodles with sesame. Grab a few sake cocktails, too. Pickup or delivery. 

Because nothing brings joy quite like a big Lebanese feast. Group dining at Lillah has always been a strong suit, and it’s translated beautifully to this Lane Cove restaurant’s array of family-style platters put together for sharing and packaged for delivery. Each comes loaded with skewers of grilled meat, colourful mezze spreads, and refreshing salads; throw in a few favourite starters, and it’s a party, plus plenty of leftovers for the week. Takeout or delivery — order here. 

Because Merivale’s popular institutions are bringing the party to diners across the city. Sydney’s favourite restaurant group have put together take-home packs reflective of each establishment — think dim sum and fried rice from Mr Wong’s, or Totti’s dreamy wood-fired bread and antipasti, plus many more. You can also pick up produce and wine from the restaurants’ own suppliers, for the (as close to) full restaurant experience at home. Get it here. 

Because most of us will crave a great restaurant burger at some point, and Bar Clementine’s Wagyu Royale with blue cheese is one of the best. We wouldn’t expect anything less from this beloved Pyrmont wine bar, which also offers a choice of two pastas (say, fettuccine with radish leaf pesto and parmesan, or a classic spaghetti and meatballs) for take away on Wednesdays and Thursdays, plus a fine selection of bottles to take away. Order here. 

Because the Ducks’ produce-led style makes for the kind of elegant meals that are keeping us well-fed at home. Expect no-nonsense, delicious fare like salmon pastrami, peri-peri chicken, and housemade gnocchi. As a bonus, plenty of wine and groceries are available from the deli; savvy diners can skip the lines for Iggy’s Bakery by ordering sourdough and bagels through the e-shop. Order via Abacus. 

Because what easier way to spruce up the week than with a freshly churned scoop of Messina’s gelato? All of the signature flavours are available for delivery across the city, while specials (like the gooey OG cookie pie) are available to order via the gelateria’s very own app. Get your fix. 

Because, lockdown or not, Sean Moran’s hearty, hyperseasonal food is what we crave most of the time. This Bondi institution’s offering of nourishing meals (like hearty beef stew with spaetzle) comes accompanied with its own farm’s produce, like heirloom carrots, pine mushrooms, and rainbow chard. Swing by the restaurant for take away, or email panaroma@bigpond.net.au to order.
