Sheraton on the Park in Sydney last night put on an amazing night of fine food and wine for industry guests at the launch of its new signature eatery, the aptly-named Feast Restaurant, and made sure no one went home hungry.
Previously known as Botanica Brasserie, famed for its all-you-can-eat seafood buffet, the new Feast restaurant completes a $40 million refurbishment of the landmark 557-room hotel.
The transformation to Feast includes a new lounge area, private dining booths and communal tables for up to 250 diners, but it also offers the only al-fresco terrace in the city with super views of Hyde Park.
“When the trend is for a-la-carte dining in Sydney, we want to offer the best buffet in Sydney”, said Sean Hunt, md of Sheraton on the Park.
Tucking in, TD had to agree with the mind boggling array of cuisine that included Whole Baked Marinated Arabic Lamb with middle east spices, beef cheek stewed in Stout beer, fresh lobster and crab and Bouillabaisse fish stew, rounded off with delectable deserts.
The evening buffet costs $99pp and $59pp for lunch, kids 50% off.
Feast’s Exec Chef David Wilson is behind the creations after stints at Raffles in Singapore and The Dorchester in London. Feast has an open plan kitchen with live, interactive cooking and a stone hearth oven as its visual centerpiece.
“We’re also celebrating Sheraton’s 75th anniversary this year, and while we’re the largest luxury hotel group in the world, operating in 100 countries and employing 150,000 people, there are plans for another 100 Sheraton’s in the near future”, added Hunt.
“The Sheraton Melbourne and the Sheraton New Caledonia will open late next year adding to the impressive list of 1,112 properties worldwide”, he said.
