The City of Sydney prides itself on producing some of Australia's most exquisite restaurants and bars. The city is satiated with establishments so culturally diverse, the bon-vivant is spoilt for choice!

Estate Wine Distributors currently distribute our boutique wines to over 400 restaurants in Sydney, some of which are new to our client base this month. We'd like to take this opportunity to show them off a little!

RESTAURANT BALZAC

Owner/Executive Chef – Matthew Kemp

ABOUT

balzacMatthew’s restaurant philosophy is simple: providing fresh, seasonal, high-quality, affordable food in a suburban location that offers something for everyone. On the plate he artfully marries sophisticated Gallic classics with fresh modern tastes and heart-warming British comfort food. Located in the eastern suburbs at the heart of Randwick Junction and only 15 minutes from the CBD.

In the 10 years since the restaurant opened, Restaurant Balzac has won many awards including Best French Restaurant for NSW from the Restaurant and Catering Association, Best European Restaurant for Australia from the Restaurant and Catering Association, in 2010 was voted 45th best restaurant in Australia by Gourmet Traveller Magazine and has also won and maintained a Chefs Hat.

Crossing the thick sandstone threshold you can leave the real world behind and cocoon yourself in this demure setting. Decor is kept simple and elegant with emphasis being on the beauty and heritage of the building. Downstairs and upstairs dining areas allow for up to 110 people at one time and the upstairs dining room doubles as a wonderful private function area for up to 50 people. Floor staff are polite and well-informed with a relaxed demeanour that puts the diner at ease. The food is the centrepiece and Kemp’s elegant and exquisitely cooked meals are a true marvel.

The menu changes regularly according to seasonality and availability and only the highest quality produce is used. Available everyday is the A la Carte menu and a 9-Course Daily Degustation menu.  Restaurant Balzac also offers a new and exciting 10-Course Seasonal Degustation menu on the last Sunday of every month. Restaurant Balzac can cater to any special dietary requirements if informed in advance.

In Matthew’s vision for Restaurant Balzac he wanted to create a restaurant his Nan, Mum or his best chef mates could walk into and all choose something off the menu without feeling any apprehension. Kemp has managed to bring together all the key elements of a fine dining restaurant in a suburban location at a fraction of the cost.
