Sydney\u2019s Grumpy Baker unveils its 12th\u00a0location in Potts point\u00a0with a twist. More than just a bakery, the new Macleay Street venue\u00a0has introduced a bar and Middle Eastern-inspired dinner menu, expanding the brand\u2019s offerings beyond their famous baked goods.<\/p>\n

Taking over from the former Macleay Street Bistro, the venue has been redesigned by co-founder Michael Cthurmer, his wife Deborah, and their daughter Lily. The space offers a cosy yet modern aesthetic, featuring textured walls, tan leather seating, handmade tiles, and neutral tones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis venue lets us take the food I grew up with and share it in a way that feels true to what we do,\u201d Michael Cthurmer said.<\/p>\n

By day, patrons can expect an expanded caf\u00e9 menu, with dishes like Shakshuka, Challah French Toast, and Chicken Schnitzel on house-baked challah.<\/p>\n

As evening falls, the space shifts into a neighbourhood bar, serving up a share-style menu\u00a0inspired by Middle Eastern flavours. The menu includes grilled meats, Moroccan fish, and roasted eggplant with tahini.<\/p>\n

The drinks menu will be bringing forth the same Middle Eastern inspired palate, with twists on classic cocktails, such as the rosewater negroni, sumac spritz and Israeli-style espresso martini, all designed to complement the rustic flavours of the share plates.<\/p>\n

Beyond cocktails a boutique wine list has been carefully curated by Deborah Cthurmer, with a highlight on small Australian producers. The selection leans into crisp whites, bold reds, and roses, with organic and biodynamic options, and a few handpicked international labels that blend in with the venues new late-night approach.<\/p>\n
