VicX in North Sydney has launched a food collaboration program, bringing together well-known Sydney food operators with retailers at the Lendlease development.
The X Series, which began on August 7, is running Thursdays to Sundays until August 23. Each week features a different pairing of brands producing menu items available only at the precinct.
Week one saw burger chain Mary’s team up with Indian-inspired food truck Pocket Rocketz, producing items such as a cheeseburger “spaceship” jaffle pressed on a custom cast-iron grill, a fried butter chicken burger using a 64-hour sauce, chaat masala hash browns with tandoori mayo, and a chai masala soft serve. The menu was available until August 10.
From August 14 to 17, Dopa and bakery Cherry’s Goods will offer white chocolate and pistachio matcha cookies, white chocolate matcha cookies and matcha lattes. The pistachio matcha cookie is a new Cherry’s Goods product available exclusively at Dopa VicX during the event.

The final week will feature Tokyo Taco and ToroToro Ramen collaborating on two dishes combining elements of Mexican and Japanese cuisine, with flavours including chilli, yuzu, umami and seafood.
VicX director of retail and place Monique De Cseuz said the series aimed to “create moments you can’t get anywhere else” by combining “amazing Sydney institutions and our retailers in exciting and unexpected ways.” Mary’s co-owners Jake Smyth and Kenny Graham described Pocket Rocketz as delivering “uniqueness and authenticity as well as big flavours.”
VicX is part of Lendlease’s Victoria Cross development in the North Sydney CBD, designed by Bates Smart and positioned as one of the precinct’s more sustainable projects. All concourse retailers operate fully on electricity sourced from renewables and must meet carbon emission reduction targets for fitouts and operations.
