Arthur Restaurant Lunar New Year
Every day, 6pm to 9pm Wednesday 29 January to Monday 17 February
A restaurant that is a contemporary Australian exploration of the season's best produce located in a stately Victorian-era terrace in Surry Hills, Sydney.
Arthur is owned by Tristan Rosier, and he works closely with Arthur's Head Chef, Juwon Gwak to create an Australian only menu using ingredients native to Australia while sourcing exclusively Australian grown and produced products. This Lunar New Year Juwon Gwak and Will Lawson have created a menu that will celebrate the incredible versatility of Australian ingredients, reimagining traditional Chinese style dishes with innovative and exciting twists. Together they have curated a menu that that pours passion for Chinese flavours with Australia's produce.
Highlights from the menu include:
Zucchini Flower Siu Mai: A contemporary Australian take on a Chinese dumpling, with zucchini flowers delicately stuffed with pork and scallop, finished with a zesty lemon aspen dressing, with an optional indulgent touch of caviar.
Szechuan Kangaroo Tartare: A bold fusion of native Australian kangaroo striploin, Szechuan pepper, native pepperberry, and a tangy chilli condiment, delivering a dish that balances the intensity of rich Chinese flavours with iconically Australian produce.
Bug toast, salted egg yolk: A beautifully sweet bug with a slight smokiness pairs with a creamy, rich and umami rich salted egg yolk emulsion. Enhancing the sweetness of the bug and the brioche's rich, buttery flavour. A texturally dynamic dish playing homage to the traditional prawn toast, optionally topped with caviar for a burst of flavour.
The menu will run for the duration Lunar New Year from 29th January to 17th February.
