One of the city’s finest harbourside hotels located in the heart of The Rocks district of metropolitan Sydney, The Langham, Sydney has opened the doors to its new neighbourhood bistro, Bistro Remy, offering business travellers in the nearby office area an ideal place for a taste of modern European delights.
The relaxed bistro seats 120 guests, and features a private dining room that seats a maximum of 25 diners. Its interiors feature a soothing palette of ivory, distressed wooden flooring, and white French shutters designed by renowned interiors specialists, GA from London.
Best known for his contemporary take on classic French dishes, executive chef Dave Whitting uses the finest local produce to showcase his culinary expertise. “The menu is produce-led and I enjoy experimenting with the dehydrator. I use ale to re-hydrate the rye sourdough we serve as part of the bistro’s heirloom beetroot dish. I use it as well for an element of our wild mushroom fricassee served with mushroom custard, smoked hazelnuts and hand-made chestnut cavatelli,” says Whitting.
Modern reinventions of classic bistro dishes include a tarte tatin made with quince and a surprising pairing of blue cheese and marshmallow. Signature dishes include black ash tortellini filled with silky potato crème and dressed with Pecorino and watercress; and golden plains pork belly accented with apple and potato crème. Dishes such as line caught cobia with mussels, potato and peas highlight Whitting’s finesse and innovative ideas.
Bistro Remy’s wine list is a constantly evolving list curated by sommelier Matt Herod, featuring a mix of oft-asked for favourites and some unexpected, lesser known varietals, such as the 2015 Chalmers Nero d’Avola from Heathcote Victoria, and a 2012 Catena Zapata Malbec from Argentina. www.langhamhotels.com/
