We re only just out of the blocks, but 2021 is already shaping up as a boom year for pub dining rooms.
Sydney publicans seemingly spent 2020 building, rebuilding or plotting a makeover. The Robin Hood Hotel in Waverley is the latest to reopen, unveiling a multi-million-dollar interior from H&E Architects.
When its new level-one eatery, Lorraine s, follows in coming weeks, it will join a posse of newcomers including the General Gordon Hotel in Sydenham, which reopened last week.
Hotels are also attracting fresh talent in the kitchen. Anna Ugarte-Carral, winner of the 2020 Josephine Pignolet Young Chef Award, has taken the reins at The Old Fitz, which has reopened in Woolloomooloo.
