10 william street

10 williams is a tiny little winebartucked away just off of oxford in paddington. we were escorted upstairs, sitting amongst a clash of wine cases that hadn't found storage yet and the chattery paddo socialites. it was a little odd, but their wine list was no joke. pages and pages of variety and price entries that gave us plenty to ponder. after half a bottle pinot and a bowl of olives, we were as chattery as the rest while we anxiously awaited our pasta dishes. the menu is relatively small, but everything is packed full of flavorful ingredients. they've got pastas varieties with meats and fishes so i'll be anxious to come back and try more. their king fish is the most popular entrée. their menu is on a chalk board so i have a feeling it rotates quite often. kingfish with pomegranite pasta ragu de carne tiramisu

off the main road is this cosy, contemporary winebaroffering glorious food to share & a huge wine list both by the glass or bottle. if you want to try anything new this is great place to experiment & learn. the staff are so helpful and friendly in listening to your likes & making great suggestions. the food is excellent - beautifully presented & delicious. the portions aren't huge and are designed to share which is the perfect way of having a huge variety. the menu changes seasonally. the charred octopus was outstanding including the lightly spiced squid ink sauce. pretzel & roe dip is a must & its easy to see why it is so popular. bonito was cooked perfectly as it can be tough if not cooked well. pastas are all housemade and i loved the texture but the chicken one i had on this occasion was slightly too salty. desserts especially the tiramisu is a must here. a great place for a date, catch up with friends, party or dining alone.

a newly rewarded two hat restaurant in sydney. serve fantastic italian food. we ordered spaghetti, pappardelle, quail as main dishes for share, and farinata and focaccia. entries (pre dish) is only enough for two people, so if u come in group or more than 2, i reckon to order two entry plates. as for mains, pasta tastes great! highly recommended. i prefer pappardelle which is the broad and thick one. must try their tiramisu, the best i’ve ever had. it’s as much as a winebaras it is a restaurant. if u don’t really like to eat at all of the mood doesn’t right, at least orderbarsnakes like farinate, mayo, san daniele prosciutto.

housed within a converted shophouse in paddington's boutique shopping street, 10 william street is one of the most well-lovedbarin sydney. the unpretentiousbarfeatures simple plain white walls, hanging light bulbs and a large blackboard of its wine lists.

there was no firecrackers cheering about its menu too. i ordered three dishes. first, the pumpkin with pipian verde and seeds was simple though monotony took over the palate and the pumpkin became a tedious chore to complete.

second, the ceviche kingfish with yuzu and kohlrabi was neither a sashimi nor a latin-style ceviche. the yuzu and kohlrabi did not perform well to enhance the unexciting kingfish.

third, i ordered brussels sprouts with yolk, pear and vin cotto. it did not come after several mix ups and reminders. i could not wait and i left.

food was not atrocious but they were too ordinary for a hatted restaurant. service was courteous but extremely busy and forgetful on a weeknight.

from the same team behind fratelli paradiso in potts point, a storefront nestled in the boutique shopping strips in paddington area has been converted into a small but compact bistro with impressive selection of wine list and interesting italian touch on the menu. . simply decorated with white walls, a wooden counter with couple ofbarstools, small and cramped tables, 10 william street, an italian dining hybrid with warm and knowledgeable service from the staff has become our favorite place for catching up with friends, but note that it might not be comfortable if you come in larger group.

10 william street like acme (now timeout’s winner of restaurant of the year), lumi is a dining hotspot that we’ve been meaning to pop into and its about time we got acquainted with daniel pepperrell’s food and this little italian restaurant/winebar in william street paddington. there’s no reservations to be had, we popped in at 8pm and were told that there’ll be an hour wait – good thing that paddo inn’s across the road.

went here with a girlfriend and we were advised it'll be a 30-60 minutes wait. but that's okay there's abarright across the road! when we were called back (took 30 minutes) we were recommended to start with the homemade warm pretzel and hummus. this ain't any normal hummus, it had a smoked salmon taste to it. it was delicious. also had the kingfish, bolognese pappardelle(slightly over salted) and pippies spag. all so good, especially the pippies! we ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it came out on two large tablespoons. we were very confused! i swore i've seen it served in bowls. well it was bloody delicious... we wanted more!!! the waiter then complimented us with the strawberries and cream dessert... which made up for the lack of tiramisu. overall, i'll definitely be coming back. great meal and experience. prob one of my favs now!

the winebar10 william street is the kind of place that looks like chefs from other restaurants come to hang out. in fact, when i was there during my australian vacation, what looked like chef friends sauntered up to thebarand was warmly greeted by chef daniel pepperell. from the tinybaron william right off oxford street in the upscale paddington neighborhood, pepperell has been generating buzz among foodies for his small plates that use fresh, unusual ingredients in a simple, italian/mediterranean style. pepperell, who has worked at places such as attica in melbourne and momofuku ssambarin new york, creates a limited menu to match the eclectic collection of wine. light meal after i ordered a glass of australian chardonnay, i started with a crudo of scallop, lardo and mangosteen (aus $22 or $20.50). i hardly find fresh mangosteen back in the states, but it’s probably easy to find in australia, with its close proximity to southeast asia. the mangosteen provided a nice swee

sophisticated dining and romantic atmosphere. after hearing so much about this bar/restaurant, i finally took my fiancèe there to celebrate his birthday. thebaris pretty small, you might almost miss it, but inside the atmosphere is incredible. we decided to let chef enrico prepare a little menu for us and we didn't regretted it. it was amazing, especially the scallops and carpaccio. a bit pricey and not for everyone's taste, but i'd definitely recommend it for a special occasion!

...a discreet winebarowned by the fratelli paradiso brothers, offering tired shoppers & accidental visitors like ourselves, a place to wind down & soak up the stylish surrounds. this terrace house turned wine...

the shop front of  10 william street  is narrow, so narrow that you might have to search for it like platform 9 and 3/4. but unlike the magical world of harry potter, the other side isn't any wider. the room is lit with warm yellow naked light bulbs. a huge blackboard listing the wine menu mounts the wall on the left and bottles of wine decorate the bar. our waiter gives us the option to sit at the tables below but we chose to sit at thebarfor fear of bumping elbows with our neighbours. the menu is short and simple. a selection of antipasti to start and around four mains to choose from. the bartender explained the items on the menu and suggested us some wine. sitting at thebarproved to be a good choice as the service was attentive. we ordered the charred octopus, crudo di bonito and orecchiette cime di rapa. the octopus was served with kipfler potatoes, dried kale and lots of olive oil. the octopus was charred and amazingly tender. the bonito was served raw with ricotta, finger lim

worst service i have ever received. not only did the waiter take 10 mins to get our bill he then walked around thebarwith my card chatting up customers before then finally giving me a receipt to sign 10 mins later. wines were very average also. tried 3 before one was even drinkable.

10 william street is a winebarthat boasts a serious menu of italian eats in the fashion-centric william street. there's no signage at the street front, nor inside, but you'll recognise the retro black tiled frontage with big glass windows opening up to cosy groups quaffing wine beneath blackboards proffering a healthy collection of wines. the first street-level floor of 10 william street is more your small bar, with dim and intimate seating for small groups as well as a few seats at the bar. it's not any brighter u

as the rule of thumb goes if you have a hard time finding it, it’s probably going to serve up some amazing dosh. the exterior of this fratelli paradiso sibling is fairly spartan: a glass front with an open door luring you into the narrow winebarwithin. the interior is fitted with a leather sitter which runs the perimeter of the front room, small green and white cafe tables provide a good rest for tired elbows whilst a collection of thonet bentwood chairs and stools compliment the understated cream pane

there's no thought of "too much of a good thing" when the paradiso boys are concerned. just when you thought the clan couldn't get any sexier they pop into paddington with their new winebar10 william street- a marketing ploy to recall where you are heading after a few at the paddington inn? i think so… chances are you will need to wait for a table anyhow. if you thought that an extra venue for brothers enrico and giovanni 'johnny' paradiso and business partner marco ambrosino would mean better chances of getting at table, you'd be sorely mistaken. 10 william street is even more jam-packed than fratelli paradiso though luckily because of speedy service and attentive staff, things can turn over quite quickly. the atmosphere at 10 william street is very similar to the paradiso- dark, smoldering and european and i like it. there is just the right mix of what we love about the italians without the arrogant attitude that comes when asking for advice about the wine.
