XOPP opens inside Sydney’s Darling Square dining precinct

Sydney institution Golden Century has opened its latest venture inside Darling Square's Exchange Building.

The 160-seat XOPP by Golden Century is helmed by Billy Wong, the son of original owners Eric and Linda, who has developed a more contemporary dining concept.

Located on the mezzanine level within the six-storey Exchange building, the restaurant also includes a bar serving snacks and smaller dishes alongside its cocktails and 250 wine list.

On the menu are the famed pipis in XO sauce from the original Golden Century in Chinatown, alongside hiramasa kingfish with finger lime, southern rock lobster done, and kale and brussels sprouts.

The restaurant joins the recently opened Maker's Dozen on the ground floor of the building, which includes a Tokyo-inspired milk bar from the Devon team, a new bar from craft beer specialists Bucket Boys and a Japanese pasta shop from Hamish Ingham and Rebecca Lines of Banksii and Kerby Craig of Ume.
