While some operators put their plans on hold until 2020 played itself out, plenty of new openings went ahead. Here are a few of our favourites.
Two years in the making, Fitzroy s luxurious new restaurant and bar by Emilio Scalzo and Zoe Rubino can finally serve its prawn cocktails, and Poodle cocktails. It s all about seafood platters on the terrace this summer, but expect chef Josh Fry s obsession with dry-ageing and updates on hotel classics like club sandwiches and vol au vents to make a big play.

For Millie Di Maio, 31, the 2020 pandemic provided an unexpected opportunity to escape the rat race.
At the start of the year, Di Maio was living in Macquarie Park in northern Sydney with her husband and five-year-old twins, travelling to and from the Sydney CBD each day for a demanding job with KPMG. She d leave home at 7am, then race back in the afternoon to collect her sons from after-school care by 6pm before hustling them through dinner and bed. It was just jam-packed from start to finish, she says.
