The Chefs Table is an experience that aims to both delight you and ease you into a world of discovery with every bite.

A little about Chef Elijah Attard

Elijah began his career at a local cafe in Sydney’s South Coast called 5th Ave, before jumping over to the one hatted fine diner Caveau where he learnt his skills of foraging for wild ingredients.

Around 2018, Elijah moved to the much loved vegan restaurant Yellow, in Potts Point. Cooking at the 2 hatted restaurant got Elijah working closer with farmers, appreciating a deeper understanding of flavours, presentation and high standards in order to create an unforgettable experience for the guests.

By 2022 Elijah finished up at Yellow as the sous chef. After leaving Yellow, Elijah traveled between Sydney and Melbourne to host many sold out plant based food pop ups and takeovers at bars and restaurants for 6 months eventually finding a residency for his passion project called Roots Dining.

Roots Dining (2022/2023) is the 6 seater 8 course degustation experience highlighting wild foraged plants and native ingredients, all while connecting local ceramicists and artists to create the best of what Australian fine dining has to offer.

He even worked with local bars (Par, in Melbourne) to create a matching Alcoholic and Non Alcoholic cocktail pairing designed specifically for these events. In 2024 Elijah joined on with Chef Nina Huynh as co-head chefs for the exciting new 150 seater cabaret and restaurant the Emerald Room, in Darlinghurst Sydney.
