Chef Nobu Matsuhisa will expand his Australian presence with a new location in Sydney.
Matsuhisa’s namesake restaurant, Nobu, is slated to open at Crown Sydney in December 2020.
The chef will join global heavy-hitter Clare Smyth, who will open a yet-to-be-named restaurant in February 2021, along with 12 other concepts.
“Sydney is one of my favourite cities and the food scene has always impressed me – the quality of the produce is stand out,” says Matsuhisa.
“At Nobu, inventive cuisine and unparalleled service are at the heart of everything we do. This will be no different at our Sydney restaurant. It is always about our customers and creating something innovative with passion.”
Diners can look forward to Nobu signatures including black cod miso and yellowtail jalapeño and some dishes that will be unique to the Sydney location. The final food and beverage offering will be released in the coming months.
“It has taken years of consideration to determine the line-up of our dining precinct. This announcement signals a new era of fine dining for Sydney,” says Peter Crinis, Crown Sydney’s chief operating officer.
There are Nobu restaurants located across the globe from the US to Europe, South America, Mexico and the Middle East.
