A.P Bread and Wine, Darlinghurst: Restaurant review

A.P Bread and Wine

The A.P empire makes its first night moves at this round-the-clock diner.

SYDNEY

Address

32 Burton St, Darlinghurst

“A.P” stands for “All Purpose”, as in flour, but it could stand for “All Places”, such is the proliferation of the bakery group’s venues across Sydney; there are now seven and counting from Newtown to Circular Quay. The latest spot in Darlinghurst behaves like a café/bakery during the day, then morphs into a low-lit, high-vibes restaurant at night. The evening menu makes heavy use of the day’s crumbs and crusts in the best possible way, especially in an anchovy and zucchini spaghetti – the textured strands literally made from leftover bread – which puts in a strong bid for being one of the most memorable pastas in the city. Elsewhere, a Caesar salad cranks up the crunch with celery instead of cos and a smooth sheet of chocolate cake has more layers than an HBO drama. The well-priced wine list draws from all places too; in addition to local drops you’ll find bottles hailing from Jura to Japan.
