There is more reason than ever to celebrate this festive season at Four Seasons Hotel Sydney with two glamorous new dining and entertainment outlets on offer to raise a glass.
With the imminent opening of the Hotel's new dining destination, The Woods on December 3, reservations are now available for Christmas Day lunch and dinner, Christmas parties in The Woods Private Dining Room and two sittings for New Year's Eve dinner.
Menu items are cause for celebration alone. Quail grilled over peach wood, Olive wood roasted Flinders Island lamb saddle fire with cosmic carrots, line caught steamed and smoked Trumpeter fillet set the pace of dining. There is even a five-course Chef's menu with matching fine wines available for those keen to sample a little bit of everything.
The Christmas and New Year packages from Restaurant Executive Chef, Hamish Ingham and partner/ Restaurant Manager, Rebecca Lines, are reflective of their sense of place and light-heartedness. As parents of small children, they have included in their early sitting on New Year's Eve a splendid hands-on healthy cooking experience for the kids - "make your own" pizza and dessert. Christmas lunch and dinner is available at $175pp.
The couple's ethos is simplicity and quality. "We want to define luxury for a new generation that wants to live a more sustainable life" say Ingham and Lines. The Woods is a nurturing meeting place, a stand alone restaurant for the young at heart, drawing diners in by warmth and aroma.
Delectable festive menus will be cooked over The Woods' open grills and showpiece central wood fired oven, using Australian wood varieties to enhance fine locally-sourced produce.
