COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Palomar is a vibrant Paddington restaurant inspired by the vibrant flavours of Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Levant. Complementing the menu is a thoughtfully curated wine list that explores Mediterranean regions alongside a selection of acclaimed Australian producers.

Next door, our sister venue, The Mulwray, offers an eclectic collection of Australian and French wines, with a strong focus on minimal intervention wines, biodynamic producers, and intentional winemaking.
