People sit at candlelit tables at Bar SOUL in Surry Hills

Searching for a wine bar that'll subvert your expectations? Bar SOUL is Sydney's first Korean tapas bar. It's intimate, candlelit, and warm—with an impressive menu from a former Michelin Star chef.

From husband and wife duo Daero Lee and Illa Kim, Bar SOUL is the third venue for the SOUL Group, which also includes cult-favourite neighbourhood Korean deli, SOUL Deli, and hatted Korean restaurant, SOUL Dining.

The kitchen at Bar SOUL is headed up by former Bennelong chef Sunny Ryu, whose resume also includes time at Michelin Starred restaurant Ryunique in Seoul.

On the menu are classic wine bar snacks, with unexpected twists: scallop crudo with Korean ajo blanco, slow-cooked pork jowl with confit garlic puree, black rice, and jalapeno, and, for dessert, a chestnut tiramisu.

Wine is front and centre at Bar SOUL, with pairings designed by Illa. “Korean food is rarely associated with wine," she says. After exploring the offering at Bar SOUL, we wouldn't be surprised to see more of these ventures pop up across Sydney."

"Pairing a Touriga Nacional with our dry-aged duck with sweet potato puree and Korean cabbage salad is a revelation.”
