No Michelin in Australia? Discovering Quay - Sydney's Crown Jewel

While Australia may lack Michelin stars, its unique "Chef Hat" rating system (3 Hats = highest honor) more than compensates. I joined forces with "@DragonDragonEatsToday", the top food influencer in the South Pacific, to experience Quay - Sydney's most iconic fine dining establishment that has maintained its 3-Hat status for 22 consecutive years. 🌟 Restaurant Highlights ✨ World's 50 Best Restaurants | Best in Oceania | Helmed by celebrity chef Peter Gilmore ✨ Prime Opera House views (though our vista was unfortunately blocked by a cruise ship 😭) ✨ Post-2018 renovation features custom-designed tableware and chairs (with patterns mirroring the Opera House!) 🍽️ Dish Review (Hits vs Misses) 👍 Must-Try Marvels: ▪️ Seafood platter (abalone, WA scallops, octopus) ▪️ Sea urchin sauce with marron - umami explosion! ▪️ Smoked eel sauce with crispy sea cucumber 👎 Proceed with Caution: ▪️ Iberico pork neck - saltier than the Dead Sea! ▪️ Chef's "innovative bread"...tastes suspiciously like Sichuan street-style fa gao cake 🍮 Sweet Finale: The legendary "Snow Egg" has evolved into "White Coral" - almost too beautiful to eat! ℹ️ Need to Know 📍 Location: Overseas Passenger Terminal, Sydney 💸 Price: AUD$295 (or $465 with wine pairing) ⚠️ Pro Tips: Book window seats 3 months ahead (cruise ships may block views!) Dress Code: Smart elegant (no shorts/flip-flops) #SydneyFineDining #ChefHats #QuayRestaurant #Worlds50Best
