Bodega offshoot to open at Harold Park development

With Sydney's top shelf restaurants being wooed by a large field of new developments across the city, it's a Harold Park outsider making the early running.

The inner-west precinct will soon to be home to a spin-off restaurant from Surry Hills' Bodega.

The redevelopment of the old Tramshed site at Harold Park has already snared A Tavola's Eugenio Maiale​, Gelato Messina and the Jared Ingersoll-fronted Butcher & Farmer. Now Bodega will join them, with a March opening planned.

Restaurateurs Ben Milgate, Elvis Abrahanowicz and Joseph Valore​ confirmed they've signed to the Tramshed development. In a joint statement to Good Food, they confirmed the new restaurant will be named Bodega 1904.

"[It] will have influences from both Bodega and Porteno as well as its own style … there will be differences to both the originals."

The trio says their Bodega customer catchment is widespread – including the inner west – and they were drawn to the concept and style of development and its "open market feel".

Oxford Agency's Steffan Ippolito, who brokered the Bodega deal, says the Tramshed has more arrivals on the way, with announcements in coming weeks.
