Sydney: A Lyonnaise Culinary Experience Is Popping Up for Just Seven Days!

A Lyonnaise culinary experience is popping up for just seven days!

Lead by a French chef with Michelin Star-experience.

In honor of Bastille week, Silvester's multi-award-winning contemporary restaurant is having a Lyonnaise takeover for just seven days - cuisine, theming, music and more!

The inspiration
Between the 8th and 14th of July, Michelin Star-experienced French chef, Raphael Szurek, will be offering the classic Lyonnais culinary experience of a “bouchon” (a traditional, iconic Lyon bistro) at Silvester's. The exquisite offerings will be crafted from techniques inspired by globally renowned French chef Paul Bocuse, dubbed "the Pope of French cuisine," under whom Raphael was trained.

The cuisine
Seven curated items will provide an authentic degustation à la française like no other. From Champagne-infused oysters to foie gras, bouillabaisse (a traditional soup) to truffled beef cheek parmentier. Each delectable item can be paired with an extensive range of French and international wines - from a selection of over 100 premium drops - by expert in-house sommeliers.

The experience
Complementing the food, Silvester's will also have a French makeover - theming, music, attire and more. This, paired with an open-plan kitchen at the heart of the dining space, will provide patrons a truly immersive Lyonnais dining experience, as they witness the French Chef de Cuisine create culinary art in full display.

Chef Raphael states “the French menu was inspired by my very first years in the kitchen in Lyon, the capital of French gastronomy. It is the true experience and essence of French cuisine without unnecessary artifices; showcasing classic techniques, the best locally sourced products, and authentic tastes.”
