A host of new eateries – including a chocolateria and a popular “butcher restaurant” – are promising to put Merrylands on the food map.
Australian developer and builder Coronation Property Group has just revealed the list of tenants set to move into its new Merrylands residential development – forming a brand new ‘Eat Street’ for western Sydney.
Popular dessert bar San Churro is one of venues on its way to Mason & Main’s 9,000 sqm dining and retail precinct, along with Macelleria, a renowned inner-city restaurant.
Macelleria will offer visitors a large selection of high-grade meat cuts, signature sausages, skewers and burgers, along with poultry, seafood and vegetarian options.
“We have a strong western Sydney customer base who regularly travels to our Newtown and Bondi stores, we’re thrilled to offer those regulars a local option that they can share with their family and friends,” Founder of Macelleria Peter Zaidan said.
“Not only is the location very central with plenty of parking options and close to public transport but we’re very excited about the opportunity to help put Merrylands on the food map.”
Rounding out the list for the “superior, new dining precinct for Sydney’s west” is Peanut Butter Bar, Japanese restaurant Yuzu Dining, Oakberry, Hayat Turkish, Iftar Lebanese and Mase & Co.
Rosemary Georges and Maria Moussa, Co-owners of local Mase Café on McFarlane Street, are excited to open the new Mase & Co restaurant, which will offer a modern style menu with a Mediterranean twist, including a fully functional bar.
“We are delighted to join ‘Eat Street’ and expand on our existing café which has been successfully operating in Merrylands for the past five years – this is doing wonderful things for the local area, and we wanted to be a part of that,” Georges said.
Featuring pedestrian-only laneways, 147 dedicated retail car spaces, EV charging stations and GoGet car share services – the Mason & Main dining and retail precinct is aiming to provide a lifestyle destination “not yet seen in the area”.
Coronation’s Owner Joe Nahas said the team is delighted to welcome such a high calibre of retail tenants to Mason & Main.
“We see ‘Eat Street’ as a significant opportunity to bring Mason & Main residents, the local community, families and friends together in a shared experience that’s usually reserved for the inner-city,” he added.
“Our vision is to introduce diverse dining options to Merrylands, for everyone to enjoy.”
Mason & Main features 434 Build-to-Rent and 415 Build-to-Sell apartments, in studio, 1, 2- and 3-bed configurations.
It will also comprise of more than 25 retail occupants, including the first One Playground gym to open in western Sydney, a childcare centre as well as beauty and health services.
Located at 249-259 Merrylands Road, Mason & Main’s ‘Eat Street’ is scheduled to open in August this year.
