Erez Gordon, owner of Balmain's popular Bistro Bruno and now Bishop Sessa, can answer this – apparently quite a bit of money. Formerly called Crown Street Assembly, this Surry Hills restaurant has been forced to swiftly change name to Bishop Sessa. Unlike its name, the sustainable menu remains under the guidance of chef Paul Cooper.
Bishop Sessa Bistro and Wine Bar in Surry Hills is the brainchild of Melburnian nose-to-tail chef Paul Cooper (Pied à Terre (London) The Botanical, The Provincial Hotel, O’Connells Hotel) and industry stalwart Erez Gordon (Jacques Reymond Restaurant, The Botanical, Mezzo (London)).
Both Cooper and Gordon have young families, so adding a young restaurant to the mix wasn’t necessarily in the plan, but they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take up residence in one of Crown Street’s most iconic sites – the old home of the well-loved French restaurant, Tabou.
Bishop Sessa takes a more casual approach to modern European dining than its predecessor and is focused on local, sustainable produce wherever possible.
