This Syrian tapas and cocktail restaurant in Darlinghurst is serving up more then its fair share of mouthwatering signature cocktails and quality innovative food.
This contemporary bar and tapas restaurant diverges immediately from the same-sameness associated with this hot-right-now style of eating by dishing up authentic Syrian food.
Every aspect of the place has been delicately fashioned to create an intimate and unique dining experience. The dining room is long and narrow, with plush sitting cubes, small bench-like tables, soft lighting and hand-sized menus.
As the name suggests, almonds feature heavily in both the food and drinks menus. Try the King Lorz cocktail, a refreshing rum and citrus fusion with a hint of almond. For those less adventurous, or who simply do not enjoy the nuttier side of life, there are many classic cocktails along with an exhaustive wine list.
Almond Bar strikes an ideal balance between restaurant and lounge bar - it is popular with both drinkers and diners alike. Although it might break the budget slightly, it is well worth a visit.
