Abode Bistro & Bar has announced that Anthony Naylor has been appointed head chef from May 2016.
With over 20 years of experience, Dublin born Naylor has gained skills and knowledge from a variety of international restaurants. At 15, Naylor was given the chance to work in Michelin star restaurant L’Ecrivain under chef Patron Derry Clark, before working throughout the UK and Europe.
At Prime Restaurant Sydney, Naylor headed up the Best Steak House restaurant in NSW in both 2013 and 2014, before earning two chef hats in the 2015 Gault & Millau Restaurant Guide.
Naylor has created a dining experience inspired by the simplicity of fresh, local and seasonal produce.
“Food needs to be honest. By enhancing the flavours of each element, guests can experience local, seasonal produce to its full potential. As head chef at Abode Bistro & Bar, this is a wonderful opportunity to showcase these elements to both visitors and Sydney locals alike,” said Naylor.
The menu will feature char-grilled local meats, fresh seafood, cheeses, house-made chutneys, breads and ice-creams, with produce sourced from small, local growers.
