Matt Moran bowls up Barangaroo South eat street restaurant
The chef Matt Moran has announced he will open a three-storey restaurant in the harbour-front Barangaroo precinct.
Lend Lease unveiled plans for the restaurant, which will be Moran's seventh Sydney restaurant.
Moran will work with his business partner Peter Sullivan from MorSul and Bruce Solomon and Anna Solomon from Solotel.
“I am not going to do anything I have done before at Barangaroo,” Moran said.
The restaurant, due to open in March 2016 at the southern end near King Street Wharf, will be in a striking building designed by architects Collins and Turner.
The charcoal building will resemble several stacked shallow bowls, one of about 50 food and beverage outlets at Barangaroo South.
The restaurant will have a casual lower floor, a more premium restaurant on the middle floor along with a rooftop garden bar.
“When we were first approached by Lend Lease about joining the precinct, it was the location of the site which was key in our decision making," Matt Moran said.
"We intend to deliver a truly Australian experience at this world-class waterfront venue. Whether you are looking for a casual bar and restaurant, a more premium restaurant or a rooftop garden bar, we will have it all with our offering at Barangaroo and use only the best locally sourced produce to create a showpiece of Sydney dining,” said Matt.
