Sean’s

Sydney, Australia

It’s pink and rouge frontage and pearlescent sign look seemingly held in another time, but there’s nothing old-fashioned about the food at Sean’s. The relaxed, artistically eclectic decor, warm hospitality and accessible menu of inventive home-style cooking are enough to warrant praise – add in the stellar wide-angle seascape of Bondi Beach that unfurls beyond and you’ve got something really special. It’s a recipe for success tried, tested and honed since the eponymous Sean Moran launched ‘Sean’s Panorama’ – as it was known – in 1993. Back then, Moran was considered a trailblazer at the epicentre of the farm-to-fork movement. Today, the primo of provenance supplies much of the kitchen’s produce straight from his farm in the Blue Mountains just outside of the city. Sharing the pass with head chef Sam Robertson, it’s a move as much about hyper-seasonality as it is quality control. On the menu? Perhaps green garlic soup and mussel fritters. Pork chop with fennel, rainbow chard and blood orange. Yamba prawn salad. Local pan-fried snapper with leeks, lettuce and preserved lemon. Or the now-legendary roasted herby chook followed by mulberry jelly and stewed rhubarb. Go forth, and eat like the locals.
