E P I C Venue Notification - recently open @tokki_syd has already made my Top 10 Venues for 2019 - I just adore this Korean/ Japanese fusion venue based on Izakayas.

yesterday, the #menu read, sautéed prawns with buckwheat panisse mustard and nori, this was the spark in a rather forgettable meal - #chefCameronJohnston has taken control of the #kitchen in this once loved #Sydney '3 hat #restaurant' opening with a big handful of new chefs opening new #restaurants and all touting for the same numbers in a city that has a reputation that is harsh and unforgiving - but this modern #french bistro just might restore the love to what was once a little culinary oasis in a suburb that seen better times #bestchefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestsydneydining #foodporn #foodie #food #Paddington #Sydney #SYD #Australia (at St Claudes)

there is a freedom in #chefSamMiller #food @silvereye_restaurant that Is very refreshing, a soft movement that tells us nature is the boss, and at this level of dining that is quite unusual, but don't misunderstand me nothing is random or careless, but more natural rather than forced beauty, and that is refreshingly wonderful! #UKchef #chefSamMiller is ex #souschef at #NomaCPH with #ReneRedzepi also worked with #chefMagnusNillson at #Faviken #bestchefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #bestsydneydining #bestaustraliandining #sydneydining #sydneyfood #food #foodporn #foodie #Sydney #SYD #Australia #Australian #sydneycool #richonfood (at Silvereye Restaurant)

salt baked beetroot, black currant from #chefSamMiller @silvereye_restaurant part of the #degustationmenu of 17 courses where the natural flavours are the star with a notable lack of sugar, chocolate, bread #bestchefs #bestsydneychefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #food #foodie #foodporn #Sydney #SYD #Australia #Australian #sydneyfood #sydneydining #sydneycool #richonfood

lunch on friday #BentleyRestaurant @bentleyrestaurantbar the #menu read - honey bugs, cucumber, lemon myrtle and sorrel, another delicious dish from head #chefAidenStevens @stevensaiden - wonderful to see a lot more use of #Australian #bush produce and #native #ingredients used by the #best #chefs in many #restaurants around the country #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #bestsydneychefs #sydneygoodfoodguide #sydneydining #sydneyfood #food #foodie #foodporn #Sydney #SYD #Australia #sydneycool #richonfood (at Bentley Restaurant & Bar)

[sydneycoolaustralia]

great lunch today, as I sat on my own enjoying the dining experience (my favorite pastime) it got me thinking about all the #new restaurants opening in #Sydney ! the #BentleyRestaurant @bentleyrestaurantbar seems like one of the old school now - but there is not one thing 'old school' about this kitchen, head #chefAidenStevens @stevensaiden keeps a firm grip and turns out beautiful modern dishes, packed with wonderful layered flavours like this in the photo, the #menu read - duck, pickled muntries, comte, kohlrabi, #bestchefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #sydneydining #sydneygoodfoodguide #sydneyfood #food #foodie #foodporn #Sydney #SYD #Australia #sydneycool #richonfood @brent_savage (at Bentley Restaurant & Bar)

#chefSamMiller lets the beauty of the food speak for itself, #tasmanian mussels cooked over juniper, sweet tender with a little of their own liquor which I am sure one or two ingredients was added, made this dish sparkle even more, a most elegant snack from @silvereye_restaurant #bestchefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #sydneydining #australiadining @pengloh #sydneygoodfoodguide #SYD #Sydney #Australia #sydneycool #richonfood (at Silvereye Restaurant)

[sydneycoolaustralia]

I fell in love with this dish at first sight, it demands your interest immediately, I was so hooked - but as always with #chefClaytonWells minimal plating the the best was yet to come with the tasting - #menu read, Smoked lamb heart, barley koji, and daikon, beautiful stuff at #Automata #bestchefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #newsydneyrestaurant #instafood #foodie #foodporn #sydneydining #australiadining #sydneyfood #chippendale #Sydney #SYD #Australia @automata_syd @c_j_wells @pengloh @theoldclare #sydneycool #richonfood (at Automata)

vegetables, seeds, flowers are in abundance at #SilvereyeRestaurant (this photo is part of the opening #snacks (Flat Bread with Sunflower Seeds and Courgettes - #chefSamMiller's belief that more natural flavours should take a central role in the world of modern #finedining is more than obvious with a notable lack of sugar, chocolate, bread, ok not exactly the same as #NomaCPH but you can see a link in the chain where Sam Miller was formerly no 2 #chef, so having this talented #UKchef at the helm @silvereye_restaurant is in a win win situation for #Sydney #bestchefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #food #foodie #instafood #healthyfood #Sydney #SYD #Australia #sydneycool #richonfood @pengloh @theoldclare @kensington_st (at Silvereye Restaurant)

[sydneycoolaustralia]

I've had #chefClaytonWells #food many times from early days at #Momofuku, his #cooking has always been beautifully simple with clean flavours, my meal at his new #restaurant #Automata last weekend was no exception, in the photo is some of the most exciting #petitfours from @automata_syd - jellies made with that sexy as hell #Italian digestive #fernetbranca check out > @fernetbranca_italia #bestchefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #sydneychefs #sydneydining #sydneyfood #foodie #Sydney #SYD #Australia #sydneycool #richonfood (at Automata)

so here I am on #ChristmasDay at #SydneyAirport waiting on my #Qantas flight to #Tasmania, so I thought perfect timing to put up another dish from 2 nights ago at #Silvereye #chefSamMiller (check out my first post on #Silvereye a couple of days ago) - this photo, peas, green almonds, finger limes, sea lettuce jelly, a noticeable 'fresh' crunch from the peas also a instant tangy flavour followed by a cool change at the bottom of the dish from the jelly all working in one movement #bestchefs #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #food #foodie @silvereye_restaurant @kensington_st @theoldclare @pengloh (at Silvereye Restaurant)

[sydneycoolaustralia]

#chefClaytonWells beats the drums loud and clear for flavours that are not obvious but a #chef that's looking for a deeper appreciation from your palate, and no more than in this dish - cherries, fermented juice and capers, after the initial sweet sour hit of the cherries, the salty crunch of the capers with a appearance of spring onion, this is sure an opulent opening of all that is to come from #automata. a magic paring with Red Rice Sake from #Kyoto, #Japan from #sommelierTimWatkins #bestsydneyrestaurants #bestaustralianrestaurants #bestchefs #sydneydining #sydneyfood @theoldclare #kensingtonstreetsyd #chippendale #centralparksydney #Sydney #SYD #Australia @automata_syd @c_j_wells @pengloh #sydneycool #richonfood (at Automata)
