Annamese is shaking up Sydney’s bar and dining scene with a cocktail list as bold and beautiful as its harbourside setting.

The Pho Cocktail is an unexpected delight — a heady mix of Espolon tequila, dry vermouth, pho spices and fresh Vietnamese herbs, served with a smoky cinnamon stick, you can smeell the scent of it before it arrives to the table, turning heads as it passes. It’s savoury, herby and rather easy to sip. For a unique spin on the classic Mojito, be tempted by the Sugarcane Mojito with Vietnamese mint. We can confirm it’s unlike any mojito you’ve had before. Then there’s the Ca Phe Martini, a velvety blend of Vietnamese cold brew, condensed milk, Absolut vodka and a hit of nutmeg — it’s your morning iced coffee’s cheekier older sibling. The Tamarind Whisky Sour and Yuzu & Lemongrass Fizz continue the theme, striking a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and seriously sippable.

But don’t stop at drinks. The menu, led by Executive Chef Andy Pruksa and Head Chef Matthew Pothong, encapsulates the spirit of  Vietnam with refined touches from across Asia. Dishes like the Crispy sand whiting salad, Bo Luc Lac wagyu, and crispy pork belly with chilli jam are vibrant, complex and perfect for sharing.

Set within the luxe surrounds of One Sydney Harbour, Annamese combines sleek green-and-gold interiors with a lively communal bar and an outdoor terrace ideal for soaking up the Barangaroo buzz.

Whether you’re after a post-work cocktail or a full-blown Vietnamese feast with flair, Annamese is the kind of place you’ll want to linger — and return to.
