"This will be the first time we embark on emulating the 'Alan Geaam dining experience' anywhere else in the world. I am so excited to delve into Sydney's fresh and local ingredients to bring a creative, beautiful, and delicious menu to life with chef paul and his team. I am beyond excited to give Australian diners the best possible experience" - says Michelin-star Chef, Alan Geaam.
