QUAY CROWNED “RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR” TWICE
Quay is named Restaurant of the Year
in the Australian Gourmet Traveller 2013 Restaurant Awards
and The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2013
For immediate release - 4 September 2012
Last night, Quay rewrote culinary history by being named the 2013 Restaurant of the Year in Australia’s two leading restaurant awards, the Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Awards and The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide Awards. No other restaurant in Australia has ever received this double accolade, and Quay has now been honoured three times; in 2009, 2010 and now in 2013.
Quay is one of Australia’s most critically acclaimed restaurants. In addition to its honours in theAustralian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide and The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide, it is the only Australian restaurant to feature on the global powerhouse list, the S. Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The restaurant is ranked 29th, and has been awarded Best Restaurant in Australasia for three years in a row.
Executive Chef Peter Gilmore, the man whose innovative, nature-based cuisine lies at the heart of the restaurant’s success, was in his own words “bowled over” by the double win. “It is incredibly rewarding to be recognized in this way by people you respect. And to be honest, we didn’t see this coming, which makes it even more exciting. The Quay team is, quite simply, blown away.”
John Fink, Quay’s General Manager and director of Fink Group, added: “Proud, happy, grateful. Three words that sum up the way we feel right now. We are indebted to the hardworking reviewers and judges behind Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide and The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide. They reward and inspire excellence.”

This is Sydney dining at its very best, where the food, the wine, the harbour views and the service don’t compete but blend in perfect harmony.

In this contemporary space with its trifecta of harbour, bridge and Opera House views, several hours can pass in a blur of harmonious, world-beating tucker. This is a restaurant that just keeps getting better and better. And better.

"Peter Gilmore delivers exciting, enticing, sensual and cutting edge Australian cooking in a landmark setting that makes Quay worthy of the title of Australia's best restaurant."
"Enter Heaven - each dish is a work in progress, testament to the chef's willingness to suprise and entertain. At first, great restaurants transform your life for just a few hours. Then subtly, they are with you for the rest of your life. They're a place of adventure and discovery, a combination of dazzling theatre, kitchen alchemy and unexpected magic - in a fantasy world where you're the centre of attention. Quay is all those things and more which is why Quay has been named SMH Good Food Guide - Restaurant of the Year 2009."

Owners Leon and John Fink together with Head Chef Peter Gilmore have emerged victorious in a field of over 400 establishments reviewed in the Australian Gourmet Traveller 2009 Restaurant Awards as Restaurant of the Year - 2009. In the past seven years, Quay's reputation has grown.
It's the union of contemporary technology and thinking with cool and unusual fruits of the natural world that puts Quay up there with the world's best. It certainly gets our vote.

Maestro Chef, Peter Gilmore continues to scale new heights. Young, courteous and knowledgeable service is the right match for this culinary artist, now showcasing masterworks in a bold new four course menu with a quartet of choices per course.

"Experience culinary perfection... and I'll be darned if that's not exactly what I did." "I've visited every three-star restaurant in Australia... Peter Gilmore's style of cooking, as is highlighted through Quay's new signature menu, is so wholly formed, so complete in its conception, execution and presentation that to dine at Quay today is to see a gun chef coming to the height of his powers."
