South Food + Wine Bar is very Australian.

South Food + Wine Bar has no intention of letting diners forget Australia Day, which marks the day that the First Fleet sailed into Sydney harbor. On January 26th, South Beach's Down Under newcomer – whose blog recording the trials of opening a restaurant in LA we quite liked – is celebrating with a special prix fixe menu offered at both lunch and dinner.
The three-course Posh Pie + Pav menu starts with a Sydney Sunrise (that would be sparkling Shiraz and orange juice), followed by a Bushman's Plate (an Australian take on antipasto), posh pie with chunky chips and Pavlova for dessert (January 26; $25 per person at lunch, when it excludes the Bushman’s Plate, and $45 at dinner; 415-974-5599).
