NIJI RESTAURANT & BAR

When they set-up their new restaurant and bar in Sydney they needed a launch with a bang. We gave them an explosion that triggered a press coverage tsunami.

Executive Summary

Niji Restaurant & Bar is an upmarket restaurant in Sydney’s popular Double Bay. The hotspot nightlife for Sydneysiders of all ages, Niji needed to appeal to a wide audience for both their cuisine and their cockails.

The Challenge

Set in the heart of Double Bay, Niji Restaurant & Bar opened its doors with an array of fusion Japanese cuisine and decadent cocktails. Handcrafted culinary dishes blend a contemporary Japanese menu infused with traditional Japanese Izakaya dishes and Western ingredients to produce a modern taste. Polkadot PR organised an exclusive launch event for media and local businesses, arranged one-to-one media review meals and worked with Niji to host events such as Sake Tasting and Sushi Making classes.

However, this was particularly difficult because of:

To make Niji Restaurant & Bar as the go to dining destination in Sydney for a young hip market.

To demonstrate the culinary skills of the Japanese chefs.

To make Niji Restaurant & Bar a suitable venue for local businesses for client and staff entertainment.
