About The Bentley Group

The Bentley Group came to life in March 2006 when chef Brent Savage and sommelier Nick Hildebrandt opened Bentley Restaurant + Bar in Surry Hills. Bentley was a new kind of restaurant for Sydney, with food that could challenge and inspire, but in a relaxed atmosphere and with an eclectic selection of wines not offered anywhere else. In 2013 Bentley Restaurant and Bar moved to a bigger, grander space at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Sydney’s CBD. The Bentley Group established its second venue, Monopole, in Potts Point in December 2012. Yellow was the group’s third venue, launched in August 2013 and offers vegetarian and vegan dining in the heart of Potts Point. The Group’s fourth venue, Cirrus, was established on the waterfront at Barangaroo in September 2016, specialising in contemporary, sustainably-caught seafood dishes and like the other venues has an extensive and eclectic wine list. In 2020, Savage and Hildebrandt re-launched Monopole in the CBD.

King Clarence is the latest addition to the Bentley Group.
