Acrette Opens in Chippendale As Acre Camperdown Prepares to Close

Have you ever dined at the Acre, the popular farm-to-table restaurant in Sydney’s inner west? The group behind the business has recently launched a new but slightly tweaked concept in Chippendale, naming the eatery Acrette.

Farm-to-table food has grown in popularity because it promotes healthy eating as the locally sourced produce and other ingredients used to prepare the meals are served fresh from harvest, packed with all the vitamins and nutrients the body needs for nourishment.

Restaurateurs, however, have been experimenting with an emerging “fast-casual concept” of farm-to-table food. In Acrette, the ingredients are still sourced from local producers directly but the cafe and bakery prepare a more affordable selection of fresh and healthy meals on-the-go, especially at a time when dining indoors at restaurants might be risky due to the pandemic.

Acrette, located on 822 George Street, has heaps of salads, food bowls, paninis, pies and pastries that customers may easily order for takeout. Their baked goods also go well with choices of Gypsy Coffee to energise customers who would like to start their day full and satisfied.

The new Chippendale cafe opens just as Acre in Camperdown is preparing to close in May 2021, after five years of operation. But co-Director John Tully is confident that Acre patrons will embrace Acrette just as much as its original concept as the company grabs the opportunity to shift and set a new direction.
