New on Resy: Ni Hao Bar, Kinneret Cafe, Bills Double Bay, and More

A multi-dimensional space, this new CBD spot gives you a bar, restaurant and rooftop – channelling 70’s Hong Kong – all in one. Think playful interiors, upbeat tunes and stylish interludes adorned by Bruce Lee murals. It’s a place to see and be seen. With industry pro Bremmy Setiyoko on the pans as head chef, you’re assured a flawless meal. Wagyu beef-filled rice noodle rolls with a smoky glaze are just the tip of the iceberg.

Tucked away just off Devonshire Street, this family-run corner café is a local favourite that delivers quality food every time. Think Middle Eastern flavours that uplift classic breakfast and lunch plates; crisp spanakopita with horiatiki salad, no-fuss doorstop sandwiches perfect for large appetites, and a green pea falafel salad – loaded with miso eggplant, pumpkin hummus, and house pickles – guaranteed to make your day. The space itself is bright and comfy, and perfect for a neighbourhood hang or work-from-home interlude.

This Sydney institution finds a new home in Double Bay. In true Bill’s fashion, it’s a stunning space drawing inspiration from the neighbourhood, with mustard, cream and tan décor help the food pop and allow diners to savour the space. Come for the classics: ricotta hotcakes, sweetcorn fritters, plus light dinners to cover a range of chic occasions: ‘a collection of our favourite things,’ says Granger.

From the shores of Kinneret to Alexandria, this café serves flavours reflective of chef-owner Zion Sarraf’s Israeli roots. Melding this with his time in Australia, he effortlessly blends bright Levantine flavours with an Aussie approach. Think classic shakshuka, borekas stuffed with ricotta, feta and spinach, crisp halloumi cigars, and much more. Execution is faultless and dinner spreads look obscenely pretty on the dining room’s beautiful mosaic tables. A visual wonderland.

Hurry! This chic spot induces a sense of urgency for their food as per their namesake. It’s classic Italian for Rhodes locals, where families, couples and old friends gather over lunch or dinner and a few drinks. Dark wood, white tablecloths and natural light create a vibrant and cosy space, while hearty pastas, crisp pizzas, and generous secondi provide plenty of comfort. Bellissimo.

With a killer view of ocean blues, white tablecloths and French–Italian plates on offer, this smart seafood restaurant has plenty to offer. Based in a sleek circular pavilion metres from the water, this restaurant does occasion dining right – think shellfish, fresh seafood and classic desserts (we’ll have the dark chocolate crémeux, please). Pro tip: Kick a meal off here with a round of oysters and cocktails.

A marriage of Spanish and Japanese cuisines, this restaurant celebrates big flavours in its own inimitable way. The cuisines have plenty of overlap – think fresh zucchini flower stuffed with creamy salt cod and deep-fried in tempura batter to crisp perfection, or a celebratory paella of wagyu rump cap to share, fortified with chorizo, lime, chicken and mushrooms. A casual izakaya-meets-pintxos bar vibe creates a welcoming space for families and groups of friends alike.
