Bopp & Tone

Bopp & Tone is a Sydney CBD restaurant and bar from boutique hospitality group Applejack Hospitality. Its menu takes an Australian approach to generous, shareable food with Mediterranean influences, using an in-house wood grill and charcoal oven. Seasonal produce is central, with a particular focus on seafood, cured meats and cooked meats. The kitchen also offers botanical dishes for vegetarians, desserts and options for many dietary requirements, with the caveat that food cannot be guaranteed allergen-free.

Standout choices include Australian king prawns with fermented chilli, parsley and lemon; Australian king prawn conchiglie; charcoal-baked Petuna ocean trout; and several substantial steaks, including Riverine NSW bone-in rib eye and Jack’s Creek Angus flat iron. The menu also includes oysters, tuna tartare, pasta, vegetables, charcuterie, cheese and desserts, so it works for a shared meal as well as a more focused dinner. The venue’s banquet menus provide a set group-dining option for lunch or dinner, while its bar menu covers cocktails, wine and beer.

The room is designed around a nostalgic interpretation of the post-war era experienced by Applejack’s founders’ grandfathers, Keith ‘Bopp’ Evans and Anthony ‘Tone’ Adams. The result is described as lived-in luxury, balancing grandeur with a relaxed, welcoming feel. There is an outdoor terrace and a bar for afternoon drinks or casual cocktails, along with a private dining room for more intimate occasions. The venue can also host larger functions, including full-venue celebrations and corporate events.

Bopp & Tone suits a range of Sydney CBD plans: a long lunch, dinner before a theatre show, a group gathering around a banquet, or drinks on the terrace. Weekend Soul Saturday sessions pair a lunch banquet with drinks packages, and the venue also promotes happy hour and pre-theatre dining. With its share-focused menu, private dining facilities and broad drinks list, it is particularly well suited to groups, while the restaurant and bar format also leaves room for a more casual visit.
