Golden Gully team open vegetarian Sunshine Inn in Redfern

That was quick. The recently shuttered Redfern Continental site is set to be reborn with new operators as The Sunshine Inn.

Due to open on September 24, co-owner Daniel McBride says there will be room at the inn for a restaurant, DD's, delivering vegetarian degustation menus of between three and five courses and a front bar with small and medium-sized eats.

The Sunshine Inn will mostly champion Australian growers and producers on the plate and in the glass, with a little wiggle room left for appropriate offshore product.

Australiana cocktails will tap producers such as Starward, West Winds, Mobius Distilling and Brix, while the craft beer list includes local breweries such as Akasha, Wildflower and Grifter.

McBride and his team etched themselves on the Sydney hospitality landscape at Leichhardt's Golden Gully, and the GG chef, Emma Evans, will oversee a similar plant-based approach at the new venue. Her front bar menu will include jalapeno poppers and vegetarian "meatball" subs.

"We've gone for dark and moody out the back," says McBride. "We've even brought in a chandelier and red velvet."
