The 50 Best Restaurants in the World

The 50 Best Restaurants in the World. Sydney made the list twice! Rockpool’s at #29 and Tetsuya’s at #13. We dined at Rockpool two years ago and it was the best meal of my life. Now I’m thinking Tetsuya’s might be in order for the Snook’s birthday in June…

    You would be very lucky to get in. Bookings need to be made around 6 months in advance. If you can get in I’m coming. Go for the 12 dish tasting menu at around $120 each. Good lord it sounds so good and I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews for this place!

    P.S. Wakada Tetsuya has never been formally trained as a chef. He started as a kitchen hand when he arrived in Sydney and is now this towns top chef.

    I read some reviews of the place last night and it sounds intimidating! Now I’m a little nervous. I’m all for new experiences, but some of his dishes sound a little adventurous for my palate…

    DUDE, we’re booked! I just gave them a call. For a Friday or Saturday night, they’re full up through June… but we’re all good for Snookums’s birthday on July 30! Table for 4, 10-course degustation menu for $175 each. You guys in?

    Tell her it’s for your, like, four-month anniversary. Or something. 🙂

    I *heart* Tetsuya’s! we went to his old place for dinner a couple of times, but the this place he’s at now is meant to be AMAZING! You have to try some of his fish dishes (I know, I know but try them anyway)

    I’ve already decided that if I’m going to spend $200 on dinner, I’m going to try every damn thing the man sets in front of me. So no worries there! 🙂

    (If Major backs out on this dinner, you and Rob are welcome to fill their spot!)
