In a full-circle moment, they’ve come together to showcase their passion for produce-driven experiences.Located in the basement of 24 Bay St, Double Bay, the same Neville Gruzman-designed heritage building as Neil’s Song Bird restaurant, Bobbie’s was named after Linden’s grandfather, the legendary radio broadcaster Bob Rogers, who mingled with the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in their heyday.

The staff looked after us very well. They helped us with a table wherenwe could sit with our dog. The food was great! We had some issues with Uber Per and one of the staff members (I think it was Joel) came to ask us if everything was okay. I think he would have taken us home if we did not stay more than 30min away.
