Dopa by Devon

What do you get when you cross enviable cooking heritage and fearless creativity with Japanese comfort food and decedent desserts? Dopa. The latest incarnation of café and brunch icon Devon, Dopa at Sydney Place continues the proud tradition of turning the familiar on its head and serving the unexpected to critical acclaim.

The Japanese inspiration is every-present, from the elegant interiors and use of wooden tableware, to a menu that juxtaposes simplicity with delicious intricacy and delivers food that’s always tasty and deserving of a place on your Insta feed. A solid selection of generous rice bowls are a no-brainer for lunch, and compete with Japanese-inspired salads and curries for precious stomach space. Coming purely for dessert is also a legitimate option, with pastry chef Marcus Andrew letting his imagination soar from Sydney to Tokyo and back again to serve plates of sweet goodness that look as good as they taste.
