Trends in the Hospitality Industry: Contemporary Menu Design

Year 12 Hospitality

Tetsuya's

Tetsuya’s Restaurant is located in the centre of Sydney at 529 Kent Street. Chef Tetsuya Wakuda refurbished this heritage-listed site, with influences of traditional Japanese-inspired style, to create a serene dining enclave in the city.

Tetsuya’s serves a degustation menu, based on the Japanese philosophy of using natural seasonal flavours, enhanced by classic French technique. Within the restaurant, chef Tetsuya Wakuda has designed his own on-site “test kitchen”. This personalised kitchen enables him to create the constantly evolving and inspiring dishes on which he has built his esteemed international reputation.

Aria

Dining at Aria is unforgettable overlooking the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour.

As the seasons change, Executive Chef Tom Gorringe makes the most of Australia's delicious spring produce. 

Create your own taste journey from our four course offering where hyper-seasonality is key. 

Quay

Quay is a progression of rare and beautiful ingredients where texture, flavour and harmony is paramount.

Continually inspired by nature, the creative process for chef Peter Gilmore begins in working closely with the farmers, fishermen, producers and artisans who cultivate bespoke produce exclusively for Quay. For each dish, the growth of every element and the selection of every ceramic piece is carefully considered and crafted for its role in the dining experience.

Quay brings a personal, interactive passage for diners through Peter Gilmore’s culinary evolution.

Each of our venues are different, yet we pride ourselves on consistency and for providing a taste that everyone will enjoy. We follow a simple philosophy that showcases the relationship between the finest and freshest Australian ingredients and produce whilst implementing a local, contemporary twist.

Timeout

Here's our list of Time Out's best restaurants in Sydney right now, from hot newcomers to time-honoured institutions, curated by our expert local editors and critics who have tasted their way through Sydney.

Bennelong

Located in the iconic Sydney Opera House, Bennelong is a truly unique event venue; a pinnacle of Sydney’s premier dining experiences. The internal architecture of The House, Circular Quay and the Royal Botanic Gardens provide a spectacular backdrop for an impressive event centre stage Sydney Harbour.

Rockpool

Building and nurturing relationships with primary producers and suppliers ensures only Australia’s best produce enters our restaurants.  

The beef selection at Rockpool Bar & Grill is unrivaled. We collaborate with farmers who are the best in Australia and source directly from them. We dry age our beef in-house to extract its best qualities and we butcher on site to control provenance. 

By working closely with fishermen and women and other seafood producers we know the day our fish came out of the water and the circumstances in which it made its journey to us.
