member of the team, like
Stephen’s right-hand man,
Cameron Smith, who has
also been with the group for
a number of years, working
at both La Colombe and
La Petite Colombe as sous
chef. “He is one of the most
talented chefs I have had
the pleasure of working
with. I have high hopes for
Cameron’s career,” Scot says.
Developing talent
and sublime tastes are
what Protégé will be famous for.
It’s those tastes you would want
to return for, again and again; from
the mussels with chilli, lemongrass
and ginger to the tataki and tartare,
Asian-style barbecue pork belly and
prawns, and the delectable desserts.
Protégé may mean apprentice but
here, it never means second – it’s
first-class fine dining at its best.
