Master the art of fine dining with MasterChef
Not so long ago chefs were the faceless people of your dining experience. There they were in the kitchen wearing funny hats and toiling tirelessly over a hot stove for your dining pleasure. But in this age of celebrity chefs themselves have become the plat du jour and nothing proves that more than the Masterchef phenomenon, where even wannabe chefs are getting more than their fifteen minutes' worth of fame. As an adjunct to the current MasterChef series you can have your very own MasterChef experience when the MasterChef Dining & Bar returns to The Rocks this August.
Interestingly, the man in charge of the food for this pop-up, former head chef of Bécasse restaurant, Monty Koludrovic, has been hiding his light under the backroom bushel of the MasterChef set. Here he will be at the forefront, offering diners an experience that's one part fine dining and one part Masterchef television show blended expertly and presented with finesse in the beautiful surrounds of The Rocks' First Fleet Park.
Accommodation: Metro Apartments Darling Harbour
Dates The Sydney pop up runs from 13 August to 1 September
Venue
First Fleet Park, The Rocks.
You can dine like a MasterChef for lunch or dinner (with both early and late sittings) from Tuesdays to Sundays or you might prefer the delights of high tea on Sunday afternoons.
The 4 course sample menu, which is subject to change, has already been released, and while I have to look no further than the salted caramel cup for dessert, you may be interested in the baked salmon with aromatic shellfish vinaigrette, peas and herbs, the edible garden or the rose, saffron and olive trifle with candied almond. You can see the full sample menu here. You can dine with the masses or hire your own private dining room for groups of twelve.
Chefs
Depending on when you visit you may be able to meet and greet some of the Masterchef contestants from previous series. You'll need to keep checking the booking calendar to see the dates your favourites are appearing. On the list for Sydney are Andy Allen, Justine Schofield, Callum Hann, Alice Zavlasky, Julia Taylor, Adam Liaw, Alvin Quah, Hayden Quinn and Mindy Woods.
Wine
Highly respected sommelier, David Jouy, will be selecting award winning wines from Australia and overseas to complement the menus. You can buy wine by the bottle or purchase a premium wine package with wines matched to your courses.
Bar
The MasterChef bar will be open throughout the pop up. This year's bar has an Italian theme and you don't need to book, just walk in, select a refreshing cocktail and survey the scene. They will also be offering food from a special bar menu.
Prices

Dinner: 4 course meal $115
