Our restaurant critics’ picks of the latest and best eats around the country right now: LuMi, Sydney.
We’re a bit excited about Automata, the first solo venture of Momofuku Seiobo alumnus Clayton Wells, so hearing that its opening has been pushed back to after July was a blow. Luckily he’s joining forces with fellow chef-to-watch Federico Zanellato at LuMi to bring you Chef’s Tales, a pair of eight-course lunches on two Sundays in April. The menus won’t be decided until just before each event, but expect the likes of smoked egg-yolk agnolotti with vegetable dashi and dried caviar from Zanellato, and stracciatella with fermented pumpkin, pumpkin seed oil and mandarin from Wells.
Chef’s Tales will take place on 12 and 26 April at LuMi; $105 per person for eight courses or $200 per person with matching wines. 56 Pirrama Rd, Pyrmont, NSW, (02) 9571 1999
