“Copains” means “buddies” in French and you’ll want to make friends with this charming neighbourhood bar with its strong wine game and clever European-leaning snacks.
“Copains” means “friends” or “buddies” in French, and to ram the point home, the first page of the menu features the heads of the restaurant team superimposed over the cast of the ’90s sitcom Friends. So, it goes without saying you’d do far worse than gathering up a bunch of mates and coming here for a good old catch-up. That said, it’s also got very strong solo-diner vibes, especially if you grab one of the cosy window seats or an outdoor table where you can watch the Surry Hills sidewalk procession strut its hipster stuff.
