Restaurant Hubert, Sydney

restauranthubert.com

The hottest ticket in town, Hubert brings fin-de-siècle class to private dining. Ornate, intricate and intimate, with warmth conjured from brass, leather and timber, it’s restaurant as stage show. The two private dining rooms, seating eight to 10, have old-fashioned-gentlemen’s-club charm and plenty of curios (the private space dubbed the Botero Boardroom is decorated with artworks by Colombian figurative painter Fernando Botero). Along with the classic French menu and beautifully thought-out wine list, it’s pure class.
