REVIEW
What was intended to be the smaller, more casual little sister to Merivale’s grandest dining room, inadvertently stole the show when they opened in tandem in early 2020. Together with cocktail bar Will’s, Una Más shares the same entrance and amenities as Mimi’s (including Sydney’s most glamorous bathrooms). But where Mimi’s mirrors the successful template of Merivale fine-diners (Fred’s, Bert’s, Hotel Centennial), Una Más has a personality and atmosphere all of her own. Polished yet natural, Una Más captures the breezy spirit of its beachfront locale, complemented by a selection of equally breezy Mediterranean small plates. A succinct menu is bolstered by daily specials, ensuring there’s always something new to explore, alongside familiar favourites (the octopus with fermented habanero is essential ordering). Add to that natural-leaning wines and spectacular beachfront views and Una Más easily takes the crown for cool, casual dining in the harbour city.
