Fire, wood and charcoal are at the heart of Poetica, a refined and relaxed modern Sydney bar and grill in North Sydney.
Along one side of the 120-seat light-filled restaurant is an impressive 700-bottle wine wall, glass-fronted dry-ageing cabinets, and a 15-metre-long open kitchen featuring a Josper charcoal oven and custom wood-burning hearth. This faces floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors opening out to four intimate outdoor dining terraces. The adjoining 40-person bar and its outdoor terrace is set to be a lively afternoon -to-evening destination for cleverly curated cocktails that celebrate Australian ingredients.
