LOCATION
Located on the 8th Level of the Swissôtel in Market Street, between Pitt and George Streets.
PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
Sitting on the eighth floor of Sydney’s Swissôtel, just high enough to watch the hurried streets of the city below, JPB Restaurant eases an unpretentious, relaxed and irresistibly Swiss/Australian charm onto anybody who peruses its fresh, quality offerings. The concept behind the restaurant is to offer guests a choice of modern Australian or Swiss cuisine – or a bit of both. In this way JPB goes from morning to evening mixing and blending. The buffet breakfast combines Aussie staples with Swiss additions, lunch comes in Australian express style (pasta and glass of wine) or at a more leisurely Swiss pace in the form of a 250 gram steak, Swiss potato gratin and herb butter and dinnertime waves both flags with pride with a selection of quality modern Australian and Swiss dishes which includes local oysters, barramundi and top-quality beef.
