Chez Crix is the organic evolution of the much loved public bar The Cricketers Arms which has been described as the 'loosest brumby in the Sydney pub scene' .

A small french(ish) bistro in the penthouse delivering delicious food with intent and very energetic wines, in the absolute comfort of a pub.

We have been to Chez Crix about 5 or 6 times over the past year. Every time it keeps getting better and better. The food is phenomenal and the laid back rustic chilled vibe of the place is so fun and real change from what yiou get at most restaurants. The wine list is exceptional and have never had a bad wine yet. Plus they know their drinks so you can ask the staff to make you pretty much anything and they will know. I highly recommend this place. Defintely one of my top 5 restaurants in sydney.

About the restaurant
A celebration of Sherry, Wine, Tapas, & Friends. Influenced by the culture of sip-a-little-bit-of-this-and-eat-a-little-bit-of-that, Tapavino began in August 2012 as Australia’s first Sherry Bar in Sydney, in a little lane-way not unlike something you would find in the cobblestoned alleyways of Spain. Helped by the beautiful warm vibe that greets you as you step inside and take a seat among floor-to-ceiling wine bottles, Tapavino was named runner-up in Sydney Morning Herald's 'Best New Bar' Awards within 4-months of opening. 12-months later we were named 'Best Bar with Food'.

Absolutely loved our evening at Tapavino. The service was exceptional – attentive, friendly, and fast without ever feeling rushed. The team really knew their food and wines and made some great recommendations. Will definitely be back! Special shout out to Elie, our waiter, who helped us with some special dietary requirements and made it so easy to navigate.
