Overview
In January 2025, Daniel Sorridimi (Cronulla and Bondi’s Blackwood) and Joel Bennetts (ex-Fish Shop, Peppe’s) unveiled Sana Mediterranean in South Eveleigh. Now, the mates and business partners have bookended their year a second outpost, bringing their ‘fine fast dining’ concept to Sydney’s CBD.
Set in the Wintergarden food precinct on O’Connell Street, the new Sana dishes up the hearty bowls, rolls and build-your-own protein plates that have become a staple in the inner south. Flavours from across the Med anchor the offer — the signature Sana bowl, for example, combines lamb mince, pickled zucchini noodles and spiced almonds, while the chicken mayo roll is lifted with pink turnips and Calabrian chilli oil. Most ingredients are prepared in-house by Bennetts, and nothing on the menu tops $19.
For the city crowd, the team has added a compact breakfast menu with three new toast options (sourdough or gluten-free), all priced under $10 — like an avo, herb labneh, pickled onion and za’atar option — along with loaded, meat-free bowls featuring ingredients like broccoli rice, mushroom ragu and cavolo nero.
Drinks include sugar-free, zero-cal house-made sodas in flavours like blackcurrant and strawberry-vanilla, cold-pressed juices and a ceremonial-grade matcha on tap. And if caffeine’s your thing, a $15-per-week subscription gets you bottomless access to the self-serve coffee station, pouring both hot and cold brews.
