Poppy Planet

Best Known For

Involtini di Manzo: beef rolls filled with prosciutto di Parma and mozzarella, served with baked potatoes and Japanese mayo.

Colourful, homemade and creative dishes are on the menu at Poppy Planet on Oxford Street in Darlinghurst. Swing into this fun and funky café, where the more colours you see the happier you will be – think aqua walls, purple chairs, rustic wooden flooring and rope swing seats to hang out with friends over drinks and bites. Tradition meets innovation at this fusion eatery, think fare based on Italian culture prepared using Japanese flavours, as seen in antipasti plates of truffle potato croquettes, smoked mozzarella and Japanese mayo. Try gnocchi di mare - housemade gnocchi, prawns, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, pistachio, togarashi and yuzu zest - before saying grazie to memorable mains such as stewed octopus, Napoli sauce, potatoes, black olives, garlic and capers, served with focaccia.
