Meet Anthony Karnasiotis

Anthony and his family are resposible for some of Sydney’s most memorable venues. Anthony’s family have been in takeaway shops, and restaurants for over 30 years. They made their name in a venue that was ahead of its times, in The Butchers Block, Wahroonga 2013 with customers travelling from all over NSW to visit their cafe. 

They then opened a bar and restaurant next door called The Butchers Apprentice. The family ended up selling both venues to open Goodfields which was built in 2018 and has become an instant hit. 

Anthony who credits most of his success to his family, in my opinion, is one of Sydney’s best restraunteurs. His ability to create amazing venues, with excellent food, service and coffee, while also making sure his business is always running at its maximum potential is what makes him such a great operator. He has an amazing ability to stay very calm even in the most stressful situations, knows how to cover every role in the venue from chef to barista and is always trying to find ways to grow and improve. 

I love the way how he constantly gives praise to his family especially his father who he says is his biggest mentor.
