WINTER NIGHTS, SIGNATURE COCKTAILS

Winter has arrived at Cafe Sydney, bringing with it a cocktail collection designed to keep you warm throughout the cooler months.

Crafted by our bar team, the menu celebrates warming flavours, premium spirits with notes of spice, winter citrus, and a touch of smoke.

For a richer, more contemplative take on the classic Margarita try the Dark Margarita; with Don Julio Reposado and smoky mezcal layered with the bittersweet depth of Averna and bright citrus, while orange marmalade lends a silky finish.

Keep it light, bright and refreshing with the Velo Rouge, where Campari and Noilly Prat are lifted by a housemade strawberry and mint shrub, finished with soda for a crisp, bittersweet, aperitivo-driven spritz.

To finish off, the Cherry Ripe offers an indulgent homage to the iconic chocolate bar. Coconut fat-washed Cognac meets dark cacao, Luxardo cherry and layered bitters, delivering rich chocolate notes and luscious cherry character in every sip.

Drop into The Lounge and Cocktail Bar to try these and other great winter additions.

SYDNEY ILLUMINATES WITH VIVID 2026

VIVID, the world-famous festival of light, music and ideas has returned for another dazzling season.

Customs House has become a canvas as Spanish artist Javier Riera transforms the façade with a meditative projection; a piece inspired by nature’s designs, revealing the hidden geometric patterns that quietly shape the world around us.

Accompanying this transformation is a resonant score by musician, producer, sound designer and Rivera’s son - Luminecho; an exciting collaboration.

Vivid continues to bring an exciting, illuminating, and vibrant energy to our beautiful city year after year, transforming the streets and landmarks into a celebration of creativity, culture, and light.

It was wonderful to see so many of you throughout the festival. If you haven’t had the chance yet, be sure to get out and experience Vivid before it wraps up this coming weekend.

A SEASONAL CHANGE - THE AUTUMN WINTER MENU

Autumn in Australia ushers in a quiet transformation across the landscape and onto the plate. Where the season’s finest produce reveals itself in deeper, more expressive flavours, textures and inherently warming combinations.

A season that speaks to her English roots, Executive Chef Sarahjane Brown’s Autumn–Winter menu is an expression of seasonality, where bold, earthy flavours meet a thoughtful balance between richness and freshness; while textural, and deeply satisfying.

“Winter is a time to embrace boldness and depth of flavour. A time for gathering and seeking out that sense of comfort” says Sarahjane Brown. “The season naturally calls for heartier, more grounding dishes; think roasts, slow braises, root vegetables, and rich sauces.”

For a sense of seasonal warmth, begin with the Soy braised pork cheek, pork shoulder croquette, red cabbage, parsnip cream.
 
Certainly the cooler climate brings firmer, flavour filled fish to the season, reflected through the raw New Zealand snapper with daikon, apple, cultured cream, salmon roe, and jalapeño-coriander dressing.
 
A classic expression of winter indulgence, the  Roast Aylesbury duck breast, pickled baby beetroot, blackberry, jus is a must.

We are excited to share this gorgeous menu with you.
