Tell us about your bar:
LL is situated in the middle of Llankelly Place, Sydney’s hottest new dining hub in Potts Point, directly off the buzzing Kings Cross strip of Darlinghurst Road. Inspired by the bustling Hong Kong bar/dining scene, LL’s modern Asian menu is a dining experience not to be missed.
What’s on the menu?
LL offers modern Asian cuisine, for which influences are taken from South East Asia, China and Japan… with some twists from West Coast USA. We recommend the crispy tofu with black sesame and tahini sauce, an LL staple which has been in the menu since day one. For the meat lovers, and when you just don’t feel like Asian food, we have an awesome double cheeseburger.
Care for a drink?
The chilli coconut martini – well-balanced sweetness and a bit of heat.
Sounds?
Very broad, we have live music on Fridays and during our daytime yum cha sessions with our house band Myall High featuring lead singer on electric harp, very cool! During dinner service depending on the night you will hear anything from old-school classics like Bobby Womack and Roxy Music all the way to Powderfinger, Sticky Fingers and the Arctic Monkeys.
Highlights:
The place is unique. Once an old adult bookstore which fronted an illegal gambling den, the building has also served as a brothel, swingers’ club and stronghold steel room. After a facelift it’s now an intimate restaurant/bar where guests can enjoy different experiences every time they visit, from laneway dining under the retro lights of Llankelly Place, to the Red Den back room with our luxe Hong Kong-inspired design, to banquet dining in our upper mezzanine ‘high rollers’ room. And always a simple classic cocktail perched up at the front bar watching the colourful characters of Kings Cross stroll (stumble) by.
The bill comes to:
One entree, one main, dessert and a cocktail will be approximately $70pp. We recommend dishes to share.
