The world’s best restaurant is returning to Sydney for a six-week residency

Ever dreamt of experiencing a three Michelin-starred restaurant without hopping on a plane? Well, soon you can (if you’ve got a bit of dosh), as England’s three Michelin-starred restaurant, L'Enclume – recently voted the world’s best restaurant in France’s esteemed global ranking system, La Liste – is returning to beautiful Sydney once more, with its second residency at the waterfront Bathers’ Pavilion taking place this winter.

The six-week residency – where owner-chef Simon Rogan transforms the whole seaside venue, including bringing across a fleet of top-notch staff – will begin on Wednesday, July 16, and run until Sunday, August 24, with lunch and dinner sittings available. This will be the second time L'Enclume sets up shop at Bathers', following a highly successful run in 2023. Time Out was lucky enough to get a seat at the table, and it truly was a world-class and memorable experience (you can read about it here).

The L'Enclume residency at Bathers’ Pavilion will see guests sit down to an exceptional 14-course tasting menu, including snacks and petit fours, for $590 per person, with wine and non-alcoholic pairings available on the day and night.

Simon Rogan said: “The L’Enclume team and I are beyond excited to return to Bathers’ Pavilion this July after the incredible reception we received in 2023. The opportunity to share the essence of L’Enclume once again with the Australian dining community, delivered in an ambitious new way, is truly special. The response we had during our first residency was overwhelming, and it’s always a nice moment when the bookings open for what promises to be another unforgettable experience.”

Jessica Shirvington, co-owner and managing director of Bathers' Pavilion, said: “Our 2023 residency with L’Enclume surpassed all expectations. Our ongoing relationship with the Rogan Group over the three years in the making of that residency and since then is something unique, integrated, and value-aligned. Our two teams from opposite sides of the world have worked so hard to come together seamlessly. We now have the advantage of a five-year relationship, and we have every intention of upping the ante.”

Reservations for the six-week residency will open at 10am today (Thursday, February 13) via the Bathers’ Pavilion website here.
