With the weather warming up, it’s time to feast.
This October, Australia will receive six new restaurants, serving up their own style of tasty dishes. From Italian to Japanese, you’ll be heartily satisfied. And without further ado, here they are:
Toppi Martin Place, NSW
The team behind Eastern Suburbs dining institution Bar M (formerly Bar Machiavelli) are set to open Toppi in Martin Place, a vibrant late-night Italian restaurant. The restaurant celebrates two generations of female culinary leaders, offering Sydney CBD a fun and elegant spot to eat, drink and socialise. Their menu will feature an elevated Pasta Bar, where the signature house-made pasta will be theatrically prepared in front of guests. Toppi will also feature a cocktail bar, serving up drinks and mixed plates for those in-between-meetings moments. The wine list will house local and international staples, while the cocktail list goes wild on your taste buds. Expect the doors to swing open this October.
Toppi Martin Place – 60 Martin Pl, Sydney
WingHAÜS by Bavarian, QLD
Welcome to WingHAÜS by Bavarian, a wing-packed, sauce-smacked spin-off of Australia’s fun-loving The Bavarian family. It fuses eight variations of sauce-doused, American-inspired chicken wings alongside other treats and snacks, 40 taps of beer and a boisterous, sports-bar vibe thanks to a bank of 30 TVs that can screen multiple games simultaneously. Inspired by the chicken wing’s cult status in the US and The Bavarian’s own famous buffalo wings, WingHAÜS by Bavarian offers a range of buffalo wings, fried wings and boneless chicken tenders in servings of 10, 15, 20, 50, or 100 pieces. WingHAÜS by Bavarian is scheduled to open on Edward Street in Brisbane in early October.

The Stables, WA
One of Perth’s most iconic venues is getting a massive refurbishment after six years of buzzing on Hay Street. The Stables will add to its rustic space by building a two-level expansion at the front which will include a street front bistro and basement bar. The extension will increase capacity from 500 to 675, just in time to welcome new guests for the opening of Perth’s only, Art Series Hotel. The exceptional food will remain relatively the same, featuring specialised dishes like Shark Bay Crab Risotto and Octopus Karaage. The refurbishment will be completed in October.
The Stables – 888 Hay St, Perth
Gyūsha, NSW
Gyūsha (pronounced “Giew-sha”) is Chippendale’s newest Japanese yakiniku restaurant and retail meat shop. They share a paddock to plate concept, bringing high quality wagyu beef directly from the local family farm for customers to choose and grill themselves at their BBQ table. Or if you prefer the comfort of cooking in your own home, you’re more thjan welcome to take it home to cook. In addition to the family produced wagyu beef, there will also be a selection of wagyu beef from other Australian producers to showcase the differences in the meat’s marbling, texture and flavour. Gyūsha will also serve up Japanese wagyu beef. Wagyu aside, these guys will also be cooking a menu of Japanese curries, don, shabu shabu, sandos, sushi and sashimi. Although they opened their doors late September – we just couldn’t pass up the mention!
Gyūsha – Shop 7, 6 Central Park Ave, Chippendale
Bathers’ Pavilion, NSW
Balmoral’s beachfront is set to shine with the opening of Bathers’ Pavilion this October after a significant transformation. The grand dame of the north shore plans to deliver the best of coastal dining in Australia through several new concepts that range from beach snacks right through to fine dining. Sumptuous new lounge and bar areas for 32 people pour into the centre of the heritage building alongside the new all-day Bathers’ Bistro and second casual private dining space, The Sunroom. The completely refreshed Bathers’ Pavilion fine dining restaurant will also showcase a special Chef’s Table for 12.
