SMH Good Food Guide 2011 Review
Sydney’s most dramatic fine-diner sits centre stage beneath the southernmost sail of the Opera House. Dazzling harbor views surround, but the stylish interior makes a big impression, too.
Nearly as inspired as the work of architect Joern Utzon is chef Guillaume Brahimi’s turban of scampi- melting shellfish in a corduroy-like wrapping of spaghettini with an irresistible lemon and sterling caviar sauce. Mandagery Creek venison is coulourful, the burgundy carpaccio rosettes accompanied by paper-thin yellow beetroot, sunflower seed vinaigrette and a dash of coca coffee dust.
Plump gnocchi and goat’s cheese-stuffed zucchini flowers chare a plate with juicy slices of slow-roasted Flinders Island lamb leg, while flaky john dory fillet rests on pea puree alongside baby carrots, spring onion and pommes allumettes. Floor staff could be sunnier, but a sweet and tangy fruit soup with mango sorbet and lime marshmallows makes a joyful final act
