China Doll
Woolloomooloo, Sydney
China Doll modernizes, yet follows traditional oriental experiences from Japan, Hong Kong, China and across South East Asia. However, this is not Asian fusion cuisine. Each dish stays true to its roots. There is no compromise in technique and by using locally grown, superior produce, flavours are clean and distinguished. A synergy of flavours (hot, sour, salty, sweet and aromatic) is achieved to suit the western palate. Match dishes with a wine selection from the thoughtfully eclectic yet reasonably priced list, or simply relax on the wharf while the sun sets and sip one of our Asian inspired cocktails. Entwining classic cocktail techniques with contemporary fusion, Bar Manager Shane Gwilliam has added an innovative cocktail dimension to the total China Doll experience. The ‘yin and yang’ cocktail list, based on our interpretation of five spice (cardamom, star anise, Sichuan, cinnamon, lemongrass) is matched cleanly with the mod-Asian food. With the perfect mix of relaxed yet professional service, stylish food, cocktails and glamorous location, China Doll delivers the ultimate Sydney dining experience for locals and visitors to our great city.

Assiette
Surry Hills, Sydney
Chef/Owner - Warren Turnbull Warren Turnbull’s dream was always to one day open his own restaurant. Assiette is that dream which began back in Auckland in 1992, when he walked into his first kitchen and fell in love straight away. Two years later, Warren moved to London to further his desire to learn from others he had heard about, read about and seen on television. Working for the likes of the famed Marco Pierre White only fuelled this passion. After three years, Turnbull once again packing his bags, headed to Sydney and found himself in one of the city’s most prized kitchens: Banc restaurant. For the next six years he worked alongside Liam Tomlin, moving through the ranks to become head chef. It was these years working with some of Sydney’s finest chefs, and a brief stint at Cruise restaurant as executive chef where he earned his first Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide Chef’s Hat, that told Warren it was time to open Assiette. With a lot of hard work and the help of some very special friends, Assiette opened its doors on the 18th July 2005. Turnbull’s dream is very much alive and judging by some of the reviews, he is having the time of his life.

Catalina
Rose Bay, Sydney
Dip your toe in the water... plunge into Sydney food at its freshest best and Sydney Harbour at its most spectacular. Catalina is a restaurant experience like no other. Catalina is one of Australias great destination restaurants situated on a landmark Rose Bay site on Sydney Harbours eastern foreshore. Michael and Judy McMahon opened Catalina in 1994 with a simple goal: to be Sydneys favourite place to eat the best by the water. Rose Bay was the site of Australias first international airport. From 1938, flying boats, including the famous Catalinas ruled the skies. In 1957, local identity Jim Bendroit built a restaurant and nightclub called Caprice, jutting out over the water. Caprice captivated Sydney-siders for years and was the hottest spot in town. After the heyday of the Caprice era and years after the last of the big flying boats had flown out, the McMahons extensively renovated the building with architect Leigh Prentice. The restaurant was designed as a homage to the beauty of Sydney Harbour. Diners have a panoramic view of Sydney Harbour at water-level, punctuated only by the comings and goings of a working harbour, and incoming commuter sea planes based in front of the restaurant. Catalina is one of only a few restaurants in Sydney whose kitchen remains open from midday to late. Diners are welcome all day (full menu available).

Food “Spiedo is named after my favourite dish 'Spiedo Bresciano' – a traditional Brescian way of spit-roasting meats of quail, duck leg, pork scotch fillet, and pork ribs, on a rotisserie,” Alessandro Pavoni, Executive Chef and Co-Owner says. “I slowly baste them for five hours with sage and butter so they melt in your mouth, and serve with soft polenta." Spiedo is defined by a huge open kitchen at its center. Like a theatre, diners can see the six foot four – surfing, motorbike riding, tattooed “mountain of a man” – so described by one MasterChef contestant, in action. Together with Head Chef and fellow Italian Fulvio Lancione and their brigade of passionate chefs and cooks, Italian theatre remains alive and well at Spiedo as Pavoni and his troupe hand-make Lombardian casoncelli pasta, gnocchi, risotto, and gelato for all to see.
