The Rockpool team has opened a steak frites-only restaurant in Sydney's CBD
The name probably gives it away, but this slick new 200-seat grill is located at 24 York Street in Sydney's CBD. With crisp white tablecloths, comfy leather seats and black glossy tiled columns, it's a handsome space – and has power lunches and quick, fuss-free dinners written all over it.
Frank Tucker, CEO of Hunter St. Hospitality, says what people seek now – particularly around the YCK Laneways – is certainty, quality and value. 'At 24 York, the menu might be minimal, but the experience certainly isn't. You know exactly what dinner will cost, and you know it will be done exceptionally well. It's steak cooked properly, in a setting that still feels like a special night out,' he adds.
Just like the food menu, the drinks list is tight too – featuring four local house wines ($12-$13 a glass; $39-$45 a bottle), plus a handful of beers and cocktails. And 24 York's daily happy hour (4-6pm), with $7 schooners, house spirits and wines, as well as $12 Martinis, Negronis and Old Fashioneds, gives you even more reason to swing by.

Located in the former historic pub known locally as 'The Goth', the new eatery's owners say they are bringing 'a new story' to the old pub's 'historic walls'. The team behind Bombay Bar & Grill have described their food as a 'culinary storm', offering a range of curries, seafood dishes, tandoori and grill dishes, sides and more. Bombay Bar & Grill has claimed that it will offer 'big flavours', 'bold cocktails' and 'unforgettable vibes'. Speaking about their first day, the team thanked everyone who visited. They said: 'Huge thanks to everyone who came along to the opening day of Bombay Bar & Grill, Prestonpans — you showed up hungry and made it a massive success (and yes, we're still recovering). 'We're just getting started…see you soon for round two.' Family-run Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant and takeaway Bombay Lounge has been based in Dalkeith since 2010. In 2024, it took home the Curry Restaurant of the year award at the Scottish Curry Awards. Last April, the Midlothian restaurant was recognised in the UK Parliament with a motion which celebrated its achievements. Takeaway fans spend £51k over lifetime treating themselves The motion acknowledged this award as 'a wonderful accomplishment and a testament to the dedication and hard work put into their restaurant'. 227–229 High Street was previously home to The Prestoungrange Gothenburg, otherwise known as The Goth. The Goth was established in 1908 as a pub for local miners and brick workers, in a move to hopefully encourage less heavy drinking. In January of this year, the owners shared that the news that the pub was to shut down. 4 It was previously home to a pub known locally as The Goth Credit: Bombay Bar & Grill Restaurant

The Rockpool team has opened a steak frites-only restaurant in Sydney's CBD
If you thought Sydney had reached peak steak, think again. The award-winning team behind stalwarts Rockpool Bar & Grill, Spice Temple, The Cut Bar & Grill and The Collective has added a new carnivorous string to its bow: 24 York – a bold new CBD restaurant with only one main dish on the menu: steak frites. And because this is the Rockpool group we're talking about, this isn't a lacklustre cut, but 220g of O'Connor superior grass-fed scotch fillet with a MB2+ – the same one served at Rockpool Melbourne. It comes beautifully grilled, alongside shoestring fries cooked in beef fat – adding another rich, savoury layer and crunch – plus your choice of sauce: peppercorn, chimichurri, umami butter or veal jus. It'll set you back $48. Mustards are complimentary, and you can add a simple green salad. There's also a New York cheesecake, and ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert. That's it. No massive menu, no eye-watering bill – just a really solid feed. The name probably gives it away, but this slick new 200-seat grill is located at 24 York Street in Sydney's CBD.

Sydney's CBD has welcomed a new French bistro with a $2 happy hour and steak frites baguette
LouLou Bistro is now open in Martin Place, bringing Parisian vibes and fine French fare to the Sydney CBD. Sibling to Milsons Point's OG, LouLou Bistro, Boulangerie & Traiteur – as well as the recently opened baked-goods haven Petit LouLou, found right next door – the two-level LouLou Bistro is located above Martin Place Metro in the historic 1 Elizabeth Street building. With a $2 happy hour spanning $2 escargots and oysters and $13 mini Martinis, plus loaded steak frites baguettes for lunchtime, it's fair to say LouLou Bistro has also opened with a bang. Ned Parker, LouLou Brand Chef, says: 'We knew we had something special with LouLou in Milsons Point – a place where traditional French technique meets relaxed, neighbourhood spirit. With Petit LouLou opening earlier this year, bringing our CBD bistro to life at Martin Place feels like completing the puzzle. This space gives us the chance to honour classic French cooking while adding our own LouLou spin. Same soul, just a new city energy.' Inspired by the flavours found in the south of France, the menu features lighter takes on traditional French food, with a whole section dedicated to fresh seafood (prawn cocktails, we're coming for you). Elsewhere, chicken liver parfait comes with marmalade and warm brioche; cheese lovers can go to town on the Roquefort soufflé; and octopus gets a flavour punch with bouillabaisse and saffron rouille. There's also a steak frites baguette, available at lunch (noon-3pm), which comes with a house vino, beer or soft drink for $25. Move over, sushi. The weekday happy hour, available 4-7pm, features $2 oysters and escargots, as well as $13 mini Martinis and an $18 cheeseburger and fries. Curated by Etymon's sommelier, Maxime Bellon, the wine list showcases more than 350 labels, mostly celebrating the best drops from France, along with a few fab local producers. Plus, LouLou Bistro is open for breakfast – perfect if you want to pair your morning meeting with caramelised brioche, berries and fromage blanc; or sourdough crumpets with avo and a Bloody Mary.
