Etymon Projects is set expand its North Sydney presence this June with the opening of a new hospitality precinct.

Located at 168 Walker Street, the precinct includes Sol, a bakery, café and wine bar; artisanal providore, Una; a LA-inspired relaxed all day dining and bar called Soluna; and Japanese dining and drinks at Genzo.

The venues follow Etymon Projects opening Poetica bar + grill in North Sydney and Loulou in Milsons Point.

Etymon Projects CEO Lisa Hobbs said: “What opening Poetica bar + grill in North Sydney and Loulou in Milsons Point has shown us is that there’s a real appetite for more hospitality this side of the bridge. North Sydney has a great buzz to it, and we see this growing especially with the Metro opening later this year.”

Genzo is contemporary Japanese dining, with some edge. Interiors at this restaurant and bar are sleek and moody with pops of neon colour. The food menu will have a focus on kushiyaki (skewers), noodles, and raw dishes that can work just as well in the restaurant or paired back as bar snacks. There’ll be a compelling sake offering and Japanese wines alongside other classic wines and clean, balanced cocktails.

Open from lunch through to dinner, Soluna dining and bar is the spot for relaxed meals and catch ups over drinks. The approachable food menu offers a great mix of LA- inspired snacks, seafood, salads, pasta, and grill-style mains and a kid’s menu. The large dining space spans inside and out, with a separate lounge and bar area.

Una is a purveyor of fine food, where you’ll find a curated range of house-made and expertly sourced gourmet artisanal produce and essentials. There will also be a range of boutique wines, locally distilled spirits, aperitifs, digestifs and gifts.

In the morning at Sol bread + wine, pick up artisanal breads, pastries, and cakes freshly baked on site or grab a spot in the café. The afternoon transitions into a neighbourhood wine bar, with a focus on wines by the glass and moreish dishes.

Etymon’s director of wine Paolo Saccone said: “We’ve spent months curating the drinks offering across the precinct and having the four different venues has allowed us to really broaden and challenge ourselves.

“Expect a versatile by-the-glass wine program that focuses on biodynamic and natural wines in Sol while Soluna will highlight the classics. Genzo will showcase interesting Japanese wines mixed with Australian and international as well as an incredible sake selection. We’re very excited about the wine and spirits program across the precinct.”
