The concept behind the restaurant is that it is a waste-free restaurant. This does not necessarily mean that the food is any good. But, I still liked the idea. At the very least, the building would be interesting.
There is a generator on the top container--and the kitchen is in the bottom container.
It's hard to read the words on the walls and ceilings--but they are intended to be words to inspire people to eat more sustainably. (At least, I think that was the intention.)
It's hard to tell, but the waiters all wore t-shirts that had similar lettering. I couldn't read the t-shirts either.
I happened to come at 11:30--which was the exact point when they stopped serving breakfast. Unfortunately, they weren't going to begin serving lunch until 12:00. So, I had a bit of time to wait.
Of course, I couldn't help but think about how strange it was to be sitting in a restaurant, waiting until lunch would be served. I suppose there are some places in the US that also have a distinct point in time when they do not serve anyone. But, it just seemed weird--especially because they were still serving coffee.
But, I had time to take pictures of things like the floor--which is made of old conveyor belts. (Take a look at the website to read about all of the recycled materials they used.)
Eventually, I was able to order. First, I had Sydney rock oysters. I have no idea if they are actually from Sydney. But they were delicious.
Then, the pizza came. I love how arugula is put on top of so many dishes here in Sydney.
Although the pizza was pretty good, I can't say it was my favorite. Then again, I've had some incredible pizza. But, I was impressed that they managed to include a wood-burning oven in this pop-up restaurant.
Leaving, I thought it was amazing that this restaurant was in the perfect spot--with views of both the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Sadly, the strawberry plants didn't look like they were very happy with the Sydney sun and heat.

Fascinating! Of course I would have loved to have eaten there with you. The oysters look divine. Great pictures. xxoo
Victoria--There are so many places in this city that I would love to take you to. I think you and I would have an amazing time--because I know you are an adventurous eater--and there are some crazy cuisines here. Best part--no need to drive. :)
No need to drive you say? That's it I AM going to have to move there!
This place looked very interesting, I wonder if it is the wave of the future.
And those oysters DID look divine!
@Leigh--Yes! Definitely move here. Then you can tell me where to eat--since my luck has been hit-or-miss. As for the wave of the future--I wonder how Grant Achatz's new restaurant is doing. I recently read and article about it--the reservation system and restaurant concept is so interesting to me.
