IN A NUTSHELL

Experience the best of Tasmania’s food and wine at the chef-hatted, multi-award-winning Silvester’s Restaurant. Five exquisite courses will be crafted from the finest Tasmanian ingredients by our Michelin Star-experienced chef, Raphael Szurek. Each course will be paired with some of Tasmania’s most awarded wines and spirits. Plus, with a vibrant open kitchen at the heart of the dinner, you’ll be immersed in the action!

THE FOOD

Each of the five courses of the dining experience will be a unique showcase of a range of Tasmania’s freshest seafood, meats, cheeses, native ingredients, and more. From Tasmanian Oysters to Blue Eye Trevalla Tartar, from Cape Grim Beef to Bay of Fires Cheddar. Each impeccably presented item will be crafted with contemporary techniques and a global twist.

THE WINE & SPIRITS

The courses will not only be paired with a selection of Tasmania’s best drops, but also a range of the state’s most awarded spirits and brews. Dinner will start with Hartshorn Vodka matched with oysters and finish with Sullivan’s Cove Double Barrel Whiskey paired with blackcurrant-infused figs, native Tasmanian peppers and honey. The main courses will be paired with three premium Tasmanian wines including the Hughes and Hughes Sauvignon Blanc ‘Barrel and Skins,’ named ‘Best New Winery of 2019’.

THE CHEF

International Chef de Cuisine extraordinaire, Raphael Szurek, was trained under renowned celebrity French chef, the late Paul Bocuse. He further mastered his culinary craft across multiple Michelin Star restaurants across several continents, to develop his unique signature style. Raphael combines traditional French cooking standards with unexpected global flavours and techniques to present a creative and intriguing take on contemporary cuisine. Raphael is also a food photographer and stylist, with his plating often described as “a work of art.”
