Sydney chef Christine Manfield recently returned from London (where she made an impression with East@West), and she’s now overseeing this sultry courtyard restaurant with cheeky, mod design and color-field lighting. Playing to loyal fans from her days at Sydney’s Paramount, she continues her tradition of creating eclectic dishes, with inspirations that range from Southeast Asia to Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
