Dean & Nancy on 22, the latest venue from the team at Maybe Sammy, opens this week. And while you mightn t find a real Nancy at the sky-high Sydney CBD venue, there is a Jane.
Chef Jane Strode s opening menu includes smoked eel and cauliflower bhaji, risotto and a molten-centred fireball of cream cheese and nduja.
Despite Strode s kitchen pedigree, co-owner Stefano Catino stresses it isn t a restaurant: It s a cocktail bar with food. The cocktail list shares DNA with sibling venue Maybe Sammy.

Despite the general tenor of last year ( ugh is a universal descriptor), a lot of good things happened. And a lot, surprisingly, in the restaurant world. Even more surprisingly, a lot happened in the city – an area of Sydney widely reported to have suffered the most. That s something to be celebrated.
Restaurants in the CBD and surrounds need your support more than ever, so Good Food is putting out an all-points SOC (Save Our City) call to anyone who is hungry.
