Refined Cuisine at Quay Restaurant Sydney

Published - 29 January 2023, Sunday

Quay is a progression of rare and beautiful ingredients where texture, flavour and harmony is paramount.The standard-setter for fine dining in Sydney.

Executive chef Peter Gilmore is tireless in his pursuit of what’s interesting, new and Australian. Quay's theatrical tasting menus show off all this and more, bolstered by some of the city’s best harbour views.

His backyard is peppered with test plantations of rare vegetables, he works with local ceramicists on custom crockery and, like interstate peers Ben Shewry and Jock Zonfrillo, he’s a leading advocate for native produce.

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.

Peter Gilmore the Executive Chef here at Quay describes his cuisine as food inspired by nature as a passionate gardener himself.

He was one of the first chefs in Australia to embrace heirloom varieties of vegetables and continues to work in partnership with small and artisan producers who cultivate bespoke produce exclusively for Quay.

Peter’s appreciation of nature’s diversity and his endless experimentation in his own garden are the driving forces in his cooking. Video Credit: QuaySydney  Image Credit: Quay's Facebook Page

What an amazing place to celebrate our combined birthdays. We booked exactly 1 year ago today, and we had the best seat in the place. View, food, staff were amazing and will make today a day we will remember for a long time. Snow Egg was amazing. White Coral was even better. There was not one dish that wasn’t worth the wait.

From the sublime to the rustic, an ancient purple corn variety from Peru is ground down and cooked into the smoothest of polentas spiked with parmesan and chicken stock. A rich and sticky oxtail broth is the final umami KO punch. An unlisted break to proceedings heralds the arrival of slow fermented poolish crumpets with cultured cream and salmon roe, but then along comes a wobbling savoury custard run through with sweet mud crab meat and bolstered by an unapologetic bouquet of sea vegetables, seaweed and young garden greens finely curated right here at Quay Restaurant.
