The name “Ichoume” comes from the address of this street. Ichoume is located on ‘1’ Harbour Street, Darling Quarter. That’s why we named the restaurant “Ichoume” (Choume is used for addresses in Japan. It's a way of breaking a municipality into districts. 丁目(Choume) is ‘city district’, so ‘1 choume’(Ichoume) is ‘1st [city] district’).The design concept of the restaurant is a hangout for adults.The menu is supervised by AKIKO ISHIKAWA, who has accumulated her career in many restaurants. The head chef is TOMOHIKO KIMURA . He specialises in Japanese - based cuisine with French techniques and flavours. SHINSUKE TODA is recognised among the best sushi chefs now working and is credited with techniques utilised in contemporary sushi and sashimi preparation.Hope you enjoy what we’ve made for you.Owner ARI K. & YUKI ISHIKAWA

Bobbie's is a New York-inspired cocktail bar. Walk-ins welcome or make a reservation. At Bobbie's it's all about mid-century furnishings, plush velvet, great music, world-class cocktails and bar food curated by Neil Perry.In partnership with Linden Pride of the renowned Dante, New York, Bobbie’s has the underground energy of a New York style cocktail bar with the refined, sophisticated flair of a Neil Perry institution. It’s about keeping things in the family: when Linden was 17, he was polishing glasses at Neil’s Rockpool restaurant. In a full-circle moment, they’ve come together to showcase their passion for produce-driven experiences.Located in the basement of 24 Bay St, Double Bay, the same Neville Gruzman-designed heritage building as Neil’s Song Bird restaurant, Bobbie’s was named after Linden’s grandfather, the legendary radio broadcaster Bob Rogers, who mingled with the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in their heyday.

    Had a great dinner experience here with Brandon and his team. Brandon and Jacky were very responsive and accommodating in the booking stage, were flexible with changes and even child friendly. On the night, Sofia was very pleasant and attentive, keeping an eye on all 20 of us and making sure everyone’s needs were accommodated. Every dish on the set menu was amazing. After dinner we were moved to the bar area. Bartenders were great and worked fast. Monique was also very friendly and generous and made sure to give us plenty of water throughout the night. Music and DJ created a fun atmosphere as well. Would definitely recommend coming for dinner and drinks.
