The vision for Zambrero Fresh Mex Grill is a hip, lively, and youthful café-restaurant set within the character-rich heritage spaces of the Iconic Sydney building. The design celebrates the heritage buildings original high ceilings, fan-light windows, arched façade, and colonnade, creating a unique backdrop for a contemporary dining experience.
At the heart of the restaurant sits a custom servery pod, thoughtfully inserted to organise the space while guiding customers through the theatre of fresh food preparation. This central element houses the full assembly process, offering an engaging, transparent journey from order to plate.
Anchoring the atmosphere, a backlit laser-cut veneer feature wall creates a warm, inviting focal point, while a suspended signage lightbox conceals essential services with architectural finesse. The result is a vibrant, modern venue seamlessly woven into its historic setting—fresh, energetic, and unmistakably Zambrero.
