New Winter Menu

 As the colder weather approaches, the culinary team at Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour, led by Executive Chef Sam Moore, have crafted new menus that pay homage to the flavours and produce of the season.  

“With an ongoing commitment to suitability and supporting our community’s famers and artisans, our winter menus across Atelier by Sofitel and Champagne Bar are packed full of flavours perfect for the season”, said Sam Moore, Executive Chef.  

“In Atelier we have elevated our offering with a Salmon Cru with pickled kohlrabi, and dill dressing that looks almost too beautiful to eat; and a Gundagai MB5+ Lamb Navarin, with hearty winter vegetables including turnip, and Dutch carrot. 

“Of course, as a French-inspired restaurant we will always have a duck dish on the menu, and this winter we have our signature dry-aged duck breast with celeriac purée, chestnut, sauce périgueux”. 

Dinner is not complete without a sweet ending, and Executive Pastry Chef Ian Burch presents a stunning selection. From Raspberry Bombe Alaska with rhubarb sorbet & vanilla ice cream to Caramelised Pear & Almond Tart with baked vanilla cream, or a Honey Cheesecake with ginger maple crumble, honeycomb.

Atelier also offers a 5-course tasting menu and a set group menu – all reflecting the produce and flavours of the coming season. 

On the Champagne Bar Small Bites menu, some of the perennial favourites have been retained such as the Lobster roll with cucumber pickles; and the Octopus Skewers grilled over charcoal. We have also added in some new choices including a Pork and Pistachio Terrine with pickles, celeriac remoulade and sourdough; as well as a delicious serve of fried Buttermilk Chicken with chipotle and sour cream. 

To serve alongside these delicious morsels we have a selection of new cocktails including two expertly crafted for winter: 

Pearfection: Del Maguey Mezcal, G.E Massenez Pear, honey, orange bitters

Rubied Sipper: Rhubarb infused Botanist gin, calvados, licor 43, rhubarb jam, apple juice, rhubarb bitters

Atelier by Sofitel is open 7 days a week for dinner service, commencing at 5:30pm.

Champagne Bar is open Monday – Thursday & Sunday 5pm – late, Friday and Saturday 3pm – late
