One of Sydney's most vibrant and influential restaurants, Ms.G's, will serve its final dish this December, marking the end of a 15-year era in the heart of Potts Point.
The End of an Era for Potts Point Dining
The Merivale Group confirmed the closure on Tuesday via a social media announcement, stating that the beloved eatery will officially close its doors on December 21. The decision is part of the group's strategic shift to focus on new development projects and venue expansions.
In their statement, Merivale framed the closure as a bittersweet farewell, necessary to make way for an exciting new chapter of growth and innovation. The group has several new venues and development projects already in the pipeline.
A Legacy of Bold Flavours and Innovation
Ms.G's was first opened in 2010 by acclaimed executive chefs Dan Hong and Jowett Yu. The restaurant quickly earned a reputation for its daring, no-rules approach to Asian cuisine, becoming a trailblazer for the Merivale portfolio.
Merivale's statement praised the venue's profound impact, noting that Ms.G's crazy flavour-packed menu directly set the stage for the launch of the hugely successful Mr. Wong in 2012. The group described Ms.G's as a beloved part of both the Merivale family and the local community, acknowledging its significant role in shaping Sydney's dynamic dining landscape.
Looking Ahead: New Ventures and Fan Reactions
The closure coincides with the expanding portfolios of Merivale's executive chefs. The group specifically highlighted Dan Hong's newly opened Chinese diner, Good Luck Eating House, as an example of this new direction.
Fans of the restaurant have taken to Instagram to express their disappointment, with comments ranging from 'So sad to hear this' and 'Wow, the end of a chapter' to 'Such sad news.' Merivale is encouraging patrons to visit one last time before the December 21 closure to properly say goodbye, promising a final plate of their famous cheeseburger spring rolls.
