Pellegrino 2000, Clam Bar and Neptune's Grotto team set to open Chinese-inspired restaurant in Sydney
The gun trio behind some of Sydney's best restaurants (and my personal fave spots) – including Neptune's Grotto (winner of Time Out Sydney's Restaurant of the Year 2025), NY-style steakhouse Clam Bar, Pellegrino 2000 (Taylor Swift's go-to), and the now-closed French Bistrot 916 – is set to open a Chinese -inspired restaurant in Sydney this winter. Admittedly, this wasn't on our bingo card for the year, but considering every venue chefs Dan Pepperell and Mikey Clift and sommelier Andy Tyson open turns to dining gold, we're chuffed. Here's hoping there will be lazy Susans, too. Focusing on Cantonese and Sichuan flavours, the restaurant – which will be called Grandfather's – will open in Martin Place, taking over Thai stalwart Long Chim 's former digs. Pepperell and Clift – with Clift having spent time on the pans at Spice Temple – are currently on the hunt for a head chef to steer the 120-seat venue, their most ambitious yet. Grandfather's will join other recent(ish) high-profile Chinese restaurant openings, including Golden Century at Crown Sydney, Neil Perry's Song Bird in Double Bay, and The Royal Palace Seafood Restaurant. As for the menu and opening date, we'll keep you posted.
