Brent Savage and Nick Hildebrandt to take on Noma, Barangaroo space

The prime Barangaroo harburside location of the current dining sensation, Noma Australia pop-up has already been leased to award-winning restaurateur, Brent Savage, the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2015 Chef of the Year, and the sommelier and restaurateur Nick Hildebrandt.

They have signed a lease for the space for a yet-to-be-named seafood restaurant that will open in September at the base of the white, cloud-shaped Anadara building in the Lend Lease built precinct.

The building was designed by fjmt’s Richard Francis-Jones.

‘‘We’ve long toyed with the idea of a seafood-focused restaurant,’’ Savage told The Australian Financial Review.

Barangaroo is credited as set to have the biggest collection of food and beverage retailers in Australia, according Lendlease.

There will be a three storey restaurant headed by celebrity chef Matt Moran whispered to have the working title, Mash.

Gary Horwitz, the head of retail development and asset management for Lendlease, said Sydney-siders are very familiar with their restaurants, Bentley, Monopole and Yellow.
