The British chef famous for his love of linen and sauvignon blanc is launching his Australian flagship restaurant. The opening date is set for December 1, marking Rick Stein’s debut in the Australian metro area and an early Christmas gift for fans.
Situated above the sands of Coogee, the restaurant is part of a multimillion-dollar renovation of the InterContinental Hotel. Rick Stein At Coogee will serve as the local flagship for Rick and his wife, Sarah, who also manage Bannisters by the Sea in Mollymook and Bannisters Port Stephens.
“Sydney’s Coogee Beach is the perfect location for our flagship Australian restaurant,” Stein said. “It’s relaxed yet sophisticated, with that incredible connection to the ocean that has always inspired my cooking. For us, this feels like coming home.”
The first menu, curated by head chef Colin Chun from W Taipei, will highlight local and seasonal seafood. The venue offers both casual and fine dining experiences, complemented by an adjoining bar.
Bookings are now open via ricksteinatcoogeebeach.com.au.
