Opera Kitchen, Lower Concourse Level, Sydney Opera House, Bennelong Point, Sydney NSW 2000
Views ahoy with Cloudy Bay
Thanks to Fiona Milliken from This Is Mango for inviting me to the launch of the Cloudy Bay Pop Up Lounge in conjunction with Opera Kitchen which will run each Thursday from 4 October til 1 November 2012, 11 am til 11 pm daily. On a perfect weather evening rock oysters from Merimbula were freshly shucked by Patrick Ma while Cloudy Bay kept the 2012 Sauvignon Blanc flowing. A great vantage point for view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. During the pop up lounge fish and chips with a glass of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2012 will be available for $29. With a glass of wine on the menu worth $14 that means you're only paying $15 for your fish and chips which seems like pretty good value considering the view.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Great water views of the harbour, Apparently free oysters will be served between 5.30 and 6.30 pm, Enjoyable wine with oysters or fish and chips
CONS: Weather permitting, Don't get too close to the waters edge after a few drinks
MUST TRY: Arriving at 5.30 pm to try the free oysters

Wow! Stunning views and fantastic wines, as well as free oysters? Completely sold on this idea, will have to check it out.
Cloudy Bay - a perfect NZ wine in a spectacular location
I love the concept of pop up restaurants...this really needs to take off over here in Perth. Slowly but surely lol!
Love pop up restaurants as well - the novelty makes the night much more fun. Wish there were more around Sydney
hi excusemewaiter, i believe they might even have some wine tastings around the 5.30-6.30 pm mark too. i hope to check it out again if i have time for those free oysters.
hi sydneycool, hope the weather stays good too
hi chompchomp, i'm sure you'll get your fair share over in Perth soon enough
hi food is our religion, the summer months tends to make it better weather for outdoor pop up events. let's hope more to come.
