Eau de Vie (Sydney)

A hidden 1920s-style speakeasy reached down a flight of stairs off Wynyard Lane, regularly cited among Sydney’s best Champagne destinations. Alongside its acclaimed cocktail programme it offers a Champagne experience with French-style sabrage, opening chilled bottles tableside with a sabre. Expect a dim, intimate room, polished service and bar snacks, plus a happy-hour oyster deal. Open Tuesday to Saturday from late afternoon; closed Sunday and Monday.
