Sydney has welcomed a brand new Cantonese restaurant and bar, XOPP, from the team behind Sydney institution Golden Century.

XOPP (pronounced X-O-P-P) is located in The Exchange, a design-led building in Darling Harbour’s new food precinct Darling Square.

Paying homage to Golden Century’s most celebrated dish, XO pipis, the 160-seat restaurant showcases modern Cantonese food alongside a 250-strong wine list.

The venue also features three private dining spaces with customised tables to seat large groups, ideal for the surrounding corporate market.

The menu

XOPP offers everything there is to love about Golden Century, with a modern twist.

Diners can expect to find dishes such XO pipis, Hiramasa Kingfish, Southern Rock Lobster typhoon shelter style and Kung Bao Glacier 51 Toothfish on the menu.

The bar area offers a condensed menu of smaller dishes and snacks, teamed with wines by the glass or classic cocktails. Dishes on the bar menu include XO mayonnaise prawn rolls, scallop and edamame san choy bao, and chicken liver parfait with shaoxing wine on chinese donuts.

XOPP’s 250-strong wine list includes Australian classics, alongside some more new-age wineries, varieties and styles.
