A beloved Sydney restaurant has announced its closure, albeit temporarily, after eight years delighting Australian foodies with delicious Italian food.
Big Poppa’s in Darlinghurst is an award-winning late-night restaurant where Australians dine on modern European cuisine, gourmet cheeses and wine.
The venue usually hosts non-stop hip hop music until 3am every night of the week.
While Big Poppa’s managed to keep its doors open during 21 months of remodeling in the area, the dozens of roadblocks and construction workers along the way have affected the experience for both workers and customers.
The restaurant has just revealed that it will stop serving customers on Sunday, May 19.

Foodies shouldn’t worry too much: Big Poppa’s will reopen once construction is complete, although the restaurant can’t provide a specific date at this time.

More than 1,000 foodies rated the restaurant five stars, praising the “immaculate ambiance,” top-notch service and delicious food.
‘Iconic! “It’s perfect for date nights – as soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly smiles and a delicious pasta aroma,” said one.
‘What I am going to do? Where am I going to go? another moaned.
“My 30th birthday celebration won’t be the same without the 2am ragu,” one woman wrote.
“I’m looking forward to reopening, I can’t wait to eat more pastas and cheese boards,” said one man.
