Sydney's supersonic restaurant growth was always going to include some collateral damage.

A Pyrmont stalwart and a new kid on the Surry Hills block are among those to expire. Sugaroom, the upmarket restaurant in the former sugar refinery on Pyrmont's waterfront, has closed, as has Subcontinental, the Indian restaurant opened last February by the team at Longrain.

"The lease was up and we decided not to renew," says co-owner Sam Christie. "If it was going bananas we might have stayed, but it wasn't losing money."
