âpè
Strolling along the boardwalk on Honeysuckle Drive, at a quick glance, this may look like your average evening joint, but it’s Japanese fusion Yakitori at its finest. Kicking off in mid 2022, Âpès head Chef Nicolas Pedemont cooks over charcoal using top quality local produce from Little Hill Farm – first generation farmers with a passion for clean and ethical produce. At Âpè, your glass will never be empty, topped up with an endless list of Sake, Japanese wine, and signature cocktails. Opt in for the Feed Me menu featuring their famous King Mushroom skewer – Hunter Valley mushrooms cooked over charcoal with white truffle cultured butter and smoked salt.
P.S – Check out the cream-coloured soundproofing on the wall inside, it’s actually made from fungus!
