Nestled discreetly in the heart of Barangaroo, Cardea beckons guests into an intimate wonderland, where flavours, craftsmanship, and entertainment converge in perfect harmony. Inspired by the legendary Roman Goddess Cardea, who fearlessly guards doorways against evil spirits, this bar is here to safeguard the art of cocktail creation and culinary excellence.
Step inside, and you’ll find yourself in a luxurious vintage haven adorned with plush velvet interiors and private booths, reminiscent of a clandestine speakeasy. Cardea’s ambiance sets the stage for unforgettable moments where laughter fills the air, secrets are whispered, and memories are forged.
Mixologist George Bekarian is known for his award-winning creativity and intricate understanding of flavours when it comes to crafting cocktails. His unwavering commitment to sustainability and a field-to-glass approach makes Cardea a trailblazer in eco-friendly mixology. Each cocktail is a symphony of flavours, seamlessly blending ingredients from diverse corners of the globe. From the exotic spices of Asia to the aromatic herbs of the Mediterranean, every creation tells a story of travel.
Executive Chef Pier Davide Maiuri brings his remarkable culinary virtuosity to Cardea, infusing traditional flavours with innovative techniques gathered from his global travels.
