Love, Tilly Devine

The verdict

Named after Sydney’s historically infamous brothel Madame and militia boss, Tilly Devine, this cool laneway Sydney wine bar gives a nod to the past whilst saluting the neighbourhood it calls home.

With the focus on wine, the menu offers around 300 different wines sourced from across the world’s best wine cultivating regions. The refined list features the best drops from the Yarra Valley to the Jura to Wachau and beyond, accompanied by a small but tasty bar food menu. If you’re finding yourself a bit hungry after a drop or two, taste some duck liver pate with cornichons and toast, saucisson, prosciutto, heirloom tomato caprese or citrus cured ocean trout.
