LEIF plated — Australia St
What began as a distant restoration dream is now a reality for four iconic Australia Street restaurants — each with its own identity, yet still unmistakably connected by a love of great produce, sustainability, and thoughtful design.
We caught up with Sarah Doyle, Creative Director and founding partner of Paisano & Daughters, to talk about this iconic Inner West strip and shared vision over the past decade to bring Australia Street back to life — starting with Continental Deli, and now including Flora, Mister Grotto, Osteria Mucca and Australia Street Suites.
