Bistro Ortolan
Leichhardt, Sydney
Paul McGrath grew up in County Cork, Ireland and started his apprenticeship at Ballymaloe House where he developed his passion for the importance of premium, seasonal ingredients and their proper handling and preparation. Here the meat was reared on the restaurant’s free range farm; the fruit and vegetables grown in it’s organic gardens; and the seafood sourced directly from nearby fishing boats. He went on to work in a variety of other Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe which allowed him to develop his classic technique. He arrived in Australia in 1997, keen to experience ingredients and cooking styles not widely used in Europe. In Sydney he worked in a variety of kitchens, including Reds Restaurant, Lothars on Pymble Hill, Ampersand, and more recently, for exclusive catering companies where he personally cooked for the rich and famous, including Queen Elizabeth, the Sultan of Brunei, Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark. Jenny McGrath grew up in Sydney and worked in many top restaurants, including Ampersand, Quay, Becasse, and Establishment. Paul and Jenny met shortly after his arrival in Australia 12 years ago when they were both working at Reds Restaurant. Both are passionate about hospitality and together they have cultivated a distinct style which led them to open Bistro Ortolan in September 2006. True to his origins, Chef Paul McGrath insists on top quality ingredients favouring those that are organic or bio-dynamic. Together Paul and Jenny present a memorable dining experience of contemporary French fare.

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).
