Sydney restaurant Monopole has existed in a few forms; Bentley Restaurant Group owners Nick Hildebrandt and Brent Savage introduced it to the world as a Potts Point wine bar, relocated and expanded in the CBD and, in July 2024, will pivot to focus solely on French cuisine.

With the switch to a French restaurant comes a new look led by interior designer and curator Pascale Gomes-McNabb seeing the space elevated with velvet curtains, vintage wine posters, antique light fittings, and new crockery completely transforming the restaurant’s aesthetic.

Chef-owner Brent Savage and head chef Aidan Stevens’ menu of French classics delivered with the group’s typical style and tasteful creativity, with standouts like a Sommerlad chicken and Balmain bug vol-au-vent, smoked eel mille-feuille, and an indulgent duck and comté burger with optional duck liver parfait.

A prix fixe menu at $55 for two courses or $70 for three courses is available at lunch and prior to 6pm, and there’s also a five-course set menu for $90pp. It’s not French dining without dessert, so picks include chocolate mousse, baba au Calvados, and vanilla ice cream with green apple and chartreuse granita.

While French wines have always been in the mix on Monopole’s awarded wine list, the beverage program now leans heavily on key French regions, with an increased presence of French liquors and aperitifs, including in cocktails.

Monopole will reopen as a French restaurant on Tuesday 2 July.
