I was invited to lunch at Quay last week.
Was I free to join my friend?
If I'd had open heart surgery scheduled I would have moved it.
Of course I was bloody free.
It had been a year since my last meal at Quay - during a quick excursion back to Oz from Japan to visit family - so I was more than ready to experience Peter Gilmore's wonderful food again.
Here's a quick peek of a meal that was so delightful in every way. I love that while the food remains consistently excellent there are subtle changes in the art of it all which means a meal at Quay always holds little surprises.
