| The Conservatory |
Led by experienced hospitality operators, Brett Sergeant and James Wicks, The Conservatory is the long held vision of Sunday Co. Managing Director, Sergeant and stands as a clear expression of the group's ambition as it continues to grow, including the opening of new venues in 2026.
“The completion of The Conservatory marks a really exciting time for Morrison’s and Sunday Co. more broadly. It has always had a vibrant, New York look and feel, and to be able to build on that has been an incredible experience,” said Sergeant.
“Every detail of the renovation was highly considered. We wanted to introduce an elevated, more intimate space, somewhere guests can sit for hours, share good food and wine, and just enjoy being in the moment. The Conservatory brings a sense of completion to the venue, a missing piece that ties it all together.”
Sergeant and the Sunday Co. team worked in collaboration with Craig Madgwick, Interior Designer and Director at Design Madgwick. Madgwick and Sergeant shared a philosophy of championing craftsmanship, with comfort at the heart of their approach. Each element focuses on enhancing the original framework, starting with the famed glass atrium. The thoughtful redesign works in tandem with the room's unique shape to create intimate pockets where guests can find their favourite spot.
The room is anchored by handcrafted curved banquettes, upholstered in Ralph Lauren fabric; custom-built tables with lion’s-feet bases and bespoke Hoffman club chairs. Marble tiling, which runs up to the new central structure, is accented with textured greenery. Brass accents and soft lighting work together to create a timeless and warm atmosphere.
The Conservatory also presents a semi-private dining option for up to 20 guests, providing a new way to experience the Morrison’s offering while maintaining a natural flow with the existing bar and grill.
“We wanted to encapsulate that European conservatory charm, while maintaining the essence of what people love so much about Morrison’s,” said Madgwick.
“We focused on texture, materials, tone and quality, right down to the joinery, to create a place that feels sophisticated and inviting.”
Since taking over Morrison’s in 2023, Sunday Co. has reimagined Morrison’s to be a widely-respected dining institution. Built on the foundation of its premium food program and thoughtful design, Morrison’s reflects a deep respect for quality and attention to detail.
The venue remains underscored by the signature elements that have defined it since opening. The premium in-house beef program features daily dry-aged house cuts, alongside a renowned oyster bar offering distinctive varieties, including Wheeler Sydney Rocks and Coffin Bay Pacific Oysters. Other highlight dishes include an aged Berkshire pork chop with smoked mustard; Kinross Station Barnsley lamb chop with harissa; duck ragu with housemade pappardelle; and grilled Aquna Murray cod with curry leaf.
Morrison’s menus are complemented by a highly considered wine list that spans both Australian and international producers. The weekly happy, and oyster hours remain two of the most popular in Sydney’s competitive CBD, with Morrison’s offering garnering a loyal and cult-like following.
The latest chapter in Morrison’s evolution, brings a new level of intimacy and craft to one of Sydney’s most established dining institutions.
The Conservatory is now open, reservations are available via the website.
