Barzaari to bring Eastern Mediterranean flavours to The Old Clare Hotel
New Eastern Mediterranean restaurant Barzaari is set to take over the former Kensington Street Social space within The Old Clare Hotel in Sydney.
Barzaari Chippendale will seat up to 120 guests and serve lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday and lunch only on Sunday as well as in-room dining for guests of The Old Clare Hotel.
Chef Darryl Martin and Andrew Jordanou (owners of Barzaari Marrickville) have partnered with Loh Lik Peng (founder and owner of Unlisted Collection) to open the new eatery.
“It’s an exciting opportunity to present a new cuisine to the Chippendale precinct, which has such varied culture and a rich food scene – but no offering like this,” said Peng.
Martin (formerly of Three Weeds and Quay) says after trading successfully in Marrickville for a little over two years they are thrilled to be opening within The Old Clare.
“I’m excited to be cooking for a new neighbourhood and across the street from my mate, Clayton Wells (of Automata and A1 Canteen) who I worked with at Quay,” he said.
Set to open on October 30, the restaurant’s design is overseen by architects Neri & Hu and executed by Matt Darwon.
