Trailblazing Sydney cocktail bar Eau de Vie makes its return to the stage – and it’s got a few new tricks up its sleeve.
Opulent, elegant and downright gorgeous. These are but some of the words to describe new steak and seafood restaurant, the Sanderson. The 120-seat venue opened last week in the heritage-listed Beneficial House in Sydney’s CBD – the same building as its sibling venue, Sydney’s former world’s best cocktail bar Eau de Vie – which also opened last week after being closed for two years – is found in the basement below. We say kill two birds and come check out both.
And some of the best in the biz when it comes to grand new venues, the Speakeasy Group has opened The Sanderson inside a heritage-listed former department store.

The hospitality group behind Eau de Vie, Mjolner and Nick & Nora’s unveils its grandest project yet this Thursday when luxe dining room The Sanderson opens at Beneficial House on George Street in the CBD.
Speakeasy Group co-owner Sven Almenning said the handsome Georgian revival building seemed to be the right fit for a venue named after his business partner, Greg Sanderson.
“We’re not into minimalism,” says Greg Sanderson, gesturing towards the dining room at The Sanderson, the Speakeasy Group’s sumptuous new restaurant opening in the CBD on Thursday. “We want you to feel something when you’re in this space.”
