Gastro Park Grant King proves why he's Syndey's latest it-chef
-
The Scene:
Some people know it as Grant King’s highly-praised standalone eatery in Kings Cross and others know it as one of the top restaurant openings to hit Sydney in years; Gastro Bistro is worthy of both accolades from its sleek and sexy space that offers late evening dining scene and stylish Friday and Saturday lunches. Mixing modern and rustic industrial elements, a grand main dining room features dark hardwood floors, simple naked tabletops surrounded in bent bistro chairs and retro warehouse lighting that illuminated the palate oohs-and-ahs of Sydney’s foodie elite.

The Food:
A rotating menu is categorized in sections of snacks, entrees, mains and cheese courses. Meals begin with a band with dishes like prawn carpaccio with tune bone marrow, foie gras with wild hare and seared venison with wilted elk. Starters of smoked eel salad, duck variations and liquid butternut gnocchi show the true powers of a young, energetic star-chef. Main of breaded bass with sat doc, beef fillet with sweetbreads and slow-cooked quail convert even those not fond of the gastro-pun concept.
