Lo Presti's

Lo Presti's is a 50-seat restaurant on Level 1 of the former Moon Park site at the corner of Redfern and Elizabeth streets, opened by chef Michael Lo Presti, previously head chef at Baba's Place, and Rachel Trewin, its former manager. The menu is broadly Mediterranean and led by vegetables and olive oil: tuna toast on house-made focaccia, charred eggplant, grilled octopus with tarama, braised kangaroo tail and a grilled pork chop with pippies, alongside a wine list and a short list of house cocktails. It trades Thursday to Sunday and takes bookings through OpenTable.
