Rick Stein at Coogee Beach: Opening Date Announced
Renowned British chef Rick Stein is set to bring his signature, produce-focused seafood cuisine to the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach this summer. This highly anticipated opening marks one of Sydney’s most exciting restaurant debuts of the year, with reservations now officially open.
Opening Details
The new Australian flagship by Rick and Sarah Stein will greet its first guests on Monday, December 1. Nestled within the soon-to-launch InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, the restaurant ushers in a fresh coastal chapter for the Steins, seamlessly blending their established seaside legacy with the sophistication of Sydney’s coastline.
Dining Concept
As with their acclaimed venues in Mollymook and Port Stephens, the Coogee Beach restaurant will highlight outstanding Australian coastal produce. This time, however, guests can expect a distinctly Sydney-style elegance that complements the oceanfront setting.
Kitchen Leadership
Heading the kitchen is Colin Chun, a chef with over twenty years of experience across leading hotel kitchens in Australia and Asia, including Hilton Sydney, the Pullman, and W Taipei. A devoted follower of Stein’s belief in
"fresh seafood, simply prepared"Chun offers a polished, ingredient-driven menu that emphasizes quality and seasonality.
Menu Expectations
While the full menu remains under wraps, patrons can look forward to a celebration of local seafood from New South Wales and beyond, accompanied by refreshing coastal-style cocktails and a wine list designed for leisurely long lunches and sunset dining.
