Cafe Paci, Darlinghurst

Finnish-born chef and owner, Pasi Petanen was Head Chef 

at the hatted fine dining restaurant Marque.

He has now taken over the premises of the Mexican Taqueria Cafe Pacifico,

and you can still see the faded letters on the signage of the former cafe. 

 

 We had dinner and celebrated two birthdays and an anniversary at Cafe Paci.

Quite an interesting place. It's relaxed, casual and fun.

Dishes are creative and flavours are unique.

 Staff is friendly and helpful. 

I would love to be back again.
