Sydney's home of pig's ear katsu, the 63-degree egg and tamarind chilli popsicles is a confirmed starter at the Barangaroo development.

Derek Puah, owner of Surry Hills' award-winning Devon Cafe and its Waterloo spin-off, Devon on Danks, confirmed the opening of the new waterside venue.

"We just signed a contract this week, it'll open next September," he says. With a working title of Devon on Barangaroo, Puah maintains it'll be similar to the Surry Hills original but a little "more corporate".

Devon has built cache off the back of Zach Tan, the pharmacist-turned chef at Guillaume Brahimi's​ Sydney and Melbourne restaurants, who has customers queuing out the door on weekends for his quirky fare.

Devon's excellent lobster rolls, splashed with Kewpie mayo and tasoi, and its deep-fried ice-cream on a steamed bun are also likely to make the journey to Barangaroo.
