We’ve got an idea for a fun night out that we think you’re going to love. Gather some friends and join like-minded gourmet travellers at the lazy Susan at the year’s most anticipated new restaurant in Manly, Queen Chow, where you can dine in style and talk about how to turn the journeys of your dreams into reality.

At the new Queen Chow, chefs Patrick Friesen and Eric Koh translate the runaway success of Queen Chow in Enmore to a beautiful waterside eatery on Manly Wharf.

Gourmet Traveller editor Sarah Oakes will be in attendance to talk food, travel and everything in between, and GT’s managing editor and chief restaurant critic Pat Nourse, freshly returned from touring China with APT, will share his highlights of the most recent Best of China adventure.

On the menu:


  • Kingfish sashimi, chilli, black bean, white soy

  • Silken tofu, vegan XO, pickled long beans, mushroom floss

  • Eric Koh’s signature dim-sum selection

  • Roast duck with plum sauce

  • Steamed scallops with XO vermicelli

  • Moreton Bay bugs with black-pepper sauce

  • Steamed coral trout, ginger and shallots

  • Queen Chow special fried rice, cuttlefish, sweetcorn, barbecue pork

  • Stir-fried okra, garlic, Shaoxing

  • Toby’s salted-caramel brûlée tart

  • Soy-milk panna cotta, fruit and granita

Train your chopsticks on some of the tastiest Chinese food Sydney has to offer as you discover the fascinating possibilities of visiting one of the world’s great civilisations, from dining on the Great Wall of China and cruising the Yangzi to exploring the mystery of the terracotta warriors, seeing the mighty great pandas in person, and exploring the incredible metropolises of Beijing and Shanghai. Are you ready to set sail?
