The pop-up has space for 26 guests inside the Raw Bar indoor space, and unlike the other food menu at Opera Bar, it will be table service.

“Bringing the planted-to-plated magic of Chiswick to Opera Bar under the sails of the Sydney Opera House is something a little different and fun we wanted to create for theatregoers,” said Moran.

“We’ve curated a menu that highlights many of Chiswick’s most popular dishes to enjoy with table service right here in one of the best locations in the city.”

Moran opened the garden, planted to plate restaurant in 2012 and since then it’s been a staple on Sydney’s dining scene.

The Chiswick pop up will be operating from 5 through to 29 August from 5pm, Mondays – Thursdays to complement Opera House show times.
