Lygon Street hatted restaurant Etta to open more affordable sibling (and it's close by)
Hannah Green – owner of hatted Brunswick East restaurant Etta and winner of the Service Excellence Award in the 2024 Good Food Guide – is expanding her footprint on Lygon Street, opening neighbourhood venue Daphne a few doors down from Etta. Following the closure of pizzeria Bar Romantica, Green will this September revive the site as a 125-seat bar and restaurant with an easygoing, all-are-welcome vibe. 'The need for something a little less stuffy ... was always in my mind for my next thing,' says Green. 'Approachability and [a more affordable] price are at the heart of Daphne.' In recent years, the cooking at Etta has sharpened so excitingly – under past head chef Rosheen Kaul and now Lorcan Kan – that diners see it as an occasion restaurant, rather than somewhere to pop in on a whim.
