To define Australian food is not a simple task. Stereotypical views of \u2018shrimps on the barbie\u2019 fall short of the mark, although the country\u2019s barbeque talent is legendary. A multicultural country, modern Australian cuisine reflects the people with an eclectic offering. Prepare to taste Greek, Chinese, English, Japanese, Lebanese, Indian, Indigenous and French influences amongst others, both in technique and taste. Australian dishes are often presented as thoughtful yet unpretentious plates that let produce and flavors do the talking.<\/p>\n
Peter Gilmore, Executive Chef at Bennelong, once described Australian cuisine as \u201cReflecting our unique land where you can grow just about any product. It’s a modern society drawing on multicultural influences. We’re able to interpret with freedom and an open mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Executive Chef Peter Gilmore leads the team in the Bennelong kitchen. One of Australia’s most celebrated chefs, Peter describes his cuisine as \u2018food inspired by nature\u2019. A passionate gardener, he is hailed as one of the first chefs in Australia to embrace heirloom varieties of vegetables.<\/p>\n
Together with Head Chef Rob Cockerill, Peter works closely to build invaluable relationships with producers as the centrepiece of the cuisine. These include Australian farmers, fishermen and growers many of whom cultivate produce exclusively for Bennelong and its sister restaurant Quay. Both are among Australia’s most awarded fine dining restaurants.<\/p>\n

The crux of modern Australian food is using the right produce at the right time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will look at what produce is in its prime, and not just vegetables and fruits. We ask ourselves; What fish and seafood are swimming off the coast at the moment? What meat are at the peak of their seasons?,” says Head Chef Rob Cockerill.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is something that traditionally the Indigenous people, have been doing forever. Following the seasons and maintaining the environment, so that the next season will be just as plentiful as the last.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the change of the seasons in Australia might be subtle in comparison to Europe or the United States, throughout the years the chefs at Bennelong have gained a deeper understanding of the country\u2019s seasons. This also includes how seasonal changes affect the produce that lives and grows locally.<\/p>\n

Sophisticated, relaxed and rooted in the local terroir, the dishes at Bennelong celebrate the complex mix of cultures that form modern Australia and Australian food. The menu celebrates seasonal and local produce that promotes Australian flavors.<\/p>\n
Depending on the season, try smoked mackerel with a preserved lemon puree, green wheat and a swordfish bone marrow consomm\u00e9. Or savor mud crab congee with chawanmushi and palm heart. Maremma pasture-raised duck with hunter sausage, cherries and Kampot pepper, and a smoked eggplant salad with young pistachios, roasted pine nuts, labneh, and crisp falafel on top of baba ghanoush could also tempt your tastes.<\/p>\n
Dishes served at this Australian luxury restaurant are built on complex flavors that that you on a journey. At the ground roots of the menu is a desire to showcase quality, predominantly Australian ingredients in pure yet creative form.<\/p>\n

Bennelong is set in arguably one of the most spectacular buildings in one of the world\u2019s most beautiful city locations. The Sydney Opera House, the most famous piece of architecture on Sydney\u2019s Circular Quay, holds an important place in history. And the Bennelong Restaurant is built on a site enriched with history of communal eating and telling stories.<\/p>\n
The site is named after an Aboriginal man named Bennelong who had his hut on this historic spot around 200 years ago. Bennelong became a figurehead for relations between Aborigines and the colonists at Government House, which was once located at this point.<\/p>\n
