MORDEO BISTRO & BAR
126 Phillip Street, Sydney (02) 9232 4789 mordeo.com.au
Word on the street (and in our Facebook streams) is that Mordeo is the new Sydney CBD hot spot. I concur. First up, I’m always really happy when I get friendly and accommodating service. Tick. Then there is the wine list – all wines are available by the glass: Australian sparkling, Italian Prosecco, G. H. Mumm (I don’t have to write French or Champagne do I?). Tick again. Whites and Reds are well thought out and also available by 450ml carafe. For something different try the 2009 Alpha Estate Syrah-Xinomavro from Florina Greece ($9.50 / glass; $28.50 / carafe). I’m keen. And of course, yippee, there are elegant cocktails. The food is yummy Southern European. In the morning, before the office, there is a terrific breakfast menu, plus single origin coffee. Hungry? Yep. We might even stay on for lunch then dinner…
