High above the city resides one of Sydney’s oldest and most renowned fine dining establishments. Located on the top floor of Chifley Tower, the restaurant is accessed through the office lift banks illustrated with a plaque bearing the restaurant name (take note the restaurant is on the 42nd floor). The Japanese inspired entry-way alludes to the demure and formal atmosphere of the interior however it is the overwhelming view that commands your attention; the floor to ceiling windows provide a birds-eye view of Sydney extending to the horizon.
Internationally acclaimed chef Dietmar Sawyer is at the helm of this culinary establishment and deftly combines techniques from around the globe to create his menu. The traditional three courses are available for $125, including tea and coffee. However, special occasions dictate special food and for only a fraction more, the degustation comes strongly recommended. Sawyer presents three different degustation menus; the original features dishes that have become legend over the years, vegetarians will be pleased with their own degustation or try the indulgent menu gourmand which has been designed weekly to showcase the best seasonal produce. All degustations can be matched with wines chosen from the extensive collection of predominantly Australian drops, augmented by a selection from the New World and Europe.
