The Charles Brasserie & Bar, art deco at its most indulgent
The Charles Brasserie & Bar is a grand art deco dining room and wine bar on King Street in Sydney CBD, from the Etymon Projects team behind Loulou Bistro. Expect marble, brass and chandeliers, with a dessert trolley that rolls straight to your table.
The Charles does old world hospitality with a modern attitude. Executive chef Billy Hannigan (Loulou Bistro; The Ledbury) cooks classic French technique with plenty of theatre, from the whole dry aged duck pressed and sauced tableside to a tartare prepared right in front of you. Next door, The Charles Bar is the relaxed side of the house, a bar à vin that works for an after work drink, a casual lunch or a late supper.
