Friday night (29th) we were booked into the iconic Bennelong Restaurant at the Opera House - you have to wonder how a restaurant menu can possibly compete with this amazing setting?
You can't help but learn more about taking photographs with Joel around: get the bridge in the middle...aim higher, lower, watch the light!!
This is one of Joel's beautiful pics inside Bennelong......
Tasmanian octopus, shaved squid, Fraser Is spanner crab, local prawns were all on the entrees menu....
Rob raved about his roasted John Dory and I loved my Macleay Valley suckling pig for mains.
Desserts at Bennelong are all deconstructed/reconstructed versions of the old clichéd favourites. This is Peter Gilmore's version of a cherry jam Lamington.....
and his interpretation of pavlova......
Joelly loved his chocolate cake (the volcano cake!) and my crème caramel vs mille feuille was to die for. Another amazing meal!
We broke our usual Sydney rule and and caught a taxi back to Coogee after this fabulous night at Bennelong. We were prepared to party on back at Coogee, but the young ones stood us up. They'd spent the last of their energy getting up early and swimming up a storm to be able to party on with the oldies.
