Golden Avenue

Middle Eastern$$$$

From Anyday (Agnes, Honto, Bianca et al) comes Golden Avenue, which sees a return to Middle Eastern food for chef-owner Ben Williamson and group exec chef Adam Wolfers (both ex-Gerard’s, among many others).

Not that Golden Avenue is anything like Gerard’s. Williamson, Wolfers and head chef Tim Yates (whose CV includes a stint as the opening head chef at Ramael Scully’s Scully restaurant in London) are using multiple wood-fired ovens and coal grills to prepare a menu that covers dips, hot and cold mezze, and items from the garden, oven and grill.

For drinks, there’s a 150-bottle wine list and cocktails powered by 130 spirits on the back bar at neighbouring boozer GA, which features its own snack menu. Golden Avenue is the first opening in a larger hub of Anyday venues that will occupy the corner of Mary and Edward streets and incorporate the heritage-listed Coal Board Building.
