16 GOURMET TRAVELLER
SYDNEY
Cartmel in England’s Lake District
is famous for three things: its sticky
toffee pudding, its racecourse and
being home to two-Michelin-starred
restaurant L’Enclume. But from 15
July to 30 August, chef Simon Rogan
will relocate L’Enclume to Bather’s
Pavilion for a six-week residency,
where he’ll oversee every single
service. Signature dishes – such as
the L’Enclume dessert (an anvil forged
from chocolate, which is a tribute
to the restaurant’s French name) –
will get an Australian twist. Even the
crockery will be handmade locally
for the pop-up restaurant. Bookings
for the 11-course dégustation are
now open batherspavilion.com.auRESTAURANT NEWS

The history of Albert Park Hotel
dates back to 1883 and, after
being closed since 2014, its doors
have reopened following a striking
transformation by Six Degrees
Architects and stylist Anna Roberts.
The pub is now home to a four-
storey atrium that’s filled with so
much natural light that a native
fig tree thrives inside the building.
It also houses a new Chinese
restaurant called Happy Valley.
The menu by chef Ken Yuen (VicAsia)
includes dishes like prawn toast
made with slices of Wonder White
bread, Kampot-pepper wagyu, char
siu salmon and yellowfish tuna
dressed in orange and sesame.PERTH
Chef Melissa Palinkas is very creative
in her efforts to reduce waste at
Young George: she’s even turned
octopus head into pasta for a cacio
e pepe dish. So it’s no surprise that
sustainability also rules at her latest
venture, Ethos Deli + Dining Room.
Charcuterie will come from secondary
cuts, while the menu (pastrami on rye,
continental rolls) will involve smart
repurposing of usually unwanted
ingredients such as pickles made
from stalks, leaves and rinds.ADELAIDE
What’s a dish inspired by a Sydney
Chinese restaurant doing on Aces
Pizza & Liquor’s menu? Well, the
prawn capellini pays tribute to the
“belter” of a garlic-butter sauce from
Golden Century and Aces’ Chinatown
location. Duncan Welgemoed
(Africola) also consulted on the
menu, which includes pizza (Napoli
Dynamite) and Adelaide Hills wines.Clockwise from
