Vogue Cafe Sydney is set to open its doors in Darling Harbour this week as the first-ever Vogue-branded cafe in Australia.

The cafe is launched under a licensing agreement with Lowan Capital Pty Ltd and Condé Nast, and is housed in 'The Ribbon' building, joining landmarks such as W Sydney, IMAX Theatre, and the International Convention Centre.

Peter Wang, director of Lowan Capital, states that the cafe will introduce a dynamic fusion of fashion and gastronomy to Australia’s vibrant hospitality scene. The cafe spans 550 square metres, with two floors of dining and a cocktail bar overlooking Darling Harbour. The interior design is led by Callie Van Der Merwe and Roberto Zambri from CO-OP, featuring iconic images from the Vogue Australia archive.

"Sydney's rich and diverse culture, together with bountiful produce provides us with the opportunity to curate a truly international food experience,” said Wang. “We are proud to be a part of this latest global trend, where Vogue Cafe will introduce a dynamic fusion of fashion and gastronomy to Australia’s vibrant hospitality scene.”

Editorial director and publisher News Prestige and Condé Nast titles Australia, Edwina McCann, said she was exciting for the Sydney venue to join other international Vogue cafe locations, including Beijing, Doha and Istanbul. "The team at Lowan Capital has designed a space that is a perfect combination of fashion and food. I'm especially proud of the artwork that will be displayed inside the cafe, which has been carefully selected from the Vogue Australia archives and includes some of our most iconic shoots with Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett photographed by Will Davidson, Margot Robbie photographed by Mario Sorrenti, and Adut Akech photographed by Josh Olins."

The menu, created by hatted chef Zachary Ng, features modern Australian cuisine with an emphasis on local, seasonal and sustainably sourced produce.
