The Venue
Tucked away in Ash Street in Sydney’s CBD, you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled into the backstreets of Paris.

The seafood bar is a sight to behold- piled with prawns, oysters, lobsters and Moreton Bay bugs. And the wine list, crafted by Franck Moreau, Merivale’s master sommelier, perfectly complements the menu.
