Geoff Lindsay certainly has made his mark as owner and chef of the most awarded Vietnamese restaurant in Australia.
“I am interested in new frontiers, new challenges, developing a new cuisine style that builds on my existing repertoire as one of Australia’s most popular and respected chefs; absorbing new ingredients, techniques and flavours. A bold cuisine that speaks of its terroir, produce and Artisan producers, is respectful of its cultural surrounds and historical identity, is sustainable, exciting, ever-evolving, visually spectacular and absolutely delicious!”
My time as a Chef has been marked as quality focused, team oriented and demonstrating great initiative and entrepreneurship. In this 25 year period post apprenticeship I have always directed kitchens that are at the leading edge of one of the worlds most dynamic cuisine styles Modern Australian. A mix of South East Asian flavours, European Techniques and new frontier enthusiasm. A respectful balance between old world and new, between innovation and tradition.

Where he is going, Australian food is going.” Terry Durack Independent on Sunday (UK)
