How to entertain family and friends was something that sisters Carol and Sharon Salloum learnt before they could even read or write. The hardworking duo are proud owners of their Syrian-inspired restaurant, Almond Bar, located in Darlinghurst, an inner suburb of Sydney in NSW.
Motivated by their family s passion for food and how it unites people, the pair wanted to create a place where guests could feel as if they were dining with family. The menu features authentic, modern Middle Eastern cuisine, including many of the dishes that they grew up eating. Almond Bar is soon to celebrate its 15th birthday and the sisters attribute much of their restaurant s success to the hard work ethic they developed from the dinner table.
