The Details

Plush booths in the luxurious dining room at The Sanderson restaurant in Sydney

One of Sydney's most-awarded whisky bars has been revived—and with it, an opulent new 120-seat steak restaurant that acts as an extension of the bar's original dimly lit, jazz-infused atmosphere.

The bar in question is Eau de Vie, which has relocated and relaunched within Beneficial House near Wynyard.

In the basement of the heritage-listed building is Eau de Vie 2.0, with its signature intimate booths, whisky room, and private whisky lockers. Upstairs is The Sanderson, a luxurious saloon designed for celebrations led by head chef James Green.

Begin with a carbonara éclair or cobia crudo with apple and saké—or the Gueridon service, where cape grim beef tartare or Fraser Island spanner crab salad are finished tableside with aplomb.

The main event is the neat list of premium cuts, which includes a Wagyu rump cap from Griffith in NSW and dry-aged half duck from Wollemi Ducks, dressed in Laphroaig 10yr whisky, of course.
