Africola
This is one of the city's most original places both in terms of interior design (including a vibrant Technicolor bar and dining space) and the Modern Australian menu, featuring South African--inspired and somewhat kitschy dishes with robust flavors such as the spicy, smoked peri peri chicken and crispy chicken skin "tea sandwich." The wine list is brief but well curated and leans toward natural numbers; alternatively you can bring your own for A$20.
