Tucked into Fitzroy Street, this cosy Surry Hills wine bar is run entirely by two mates who cover both the kitchen and the floor. The dining room feels like walking into an old friend’s flat—unpretentious, lively, and driven by serious hospitality. Regulars leave drink choices to Patrick, whose knack for pouring skin-contact whites and light reds takes all the guesswork out of the night. Nelson turns out plates from a kitchen the size of a closet: seared scallops with bacon jam on wafer-thin taro crisps, street-style tacos, and charred broccoli. For something nostalgic, order the grown-up fairy bread with your glass.
