Pull out your calendars. Despite 2020 s best efforts, there are some major restaurant openings on the horizon. Here s what we have marked on our dance cards in the coming months.

The star chef and Good Food recipe writer is heading up a restaurant and event space that is part of a $40 million upgrade of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. Ahead of the February 11 opening, Martini is plotting (and pickling) the all-day menu offering with Sydney chef Diego Rosales, who will run the show, but the fun is in the wild interactive event spaces, including a private screening room for 30, making interactive cinephilic dining a real thing.
