Overview

When James Lowe, the chef and owner of Michelin-starred Lyle's in London, visited Ester in Chippendale, he felt he'd discovered his 'spirit animal restaurant'. He subsequently invited Ester's chef and owner Mat Lindsay to fly over to join him for an edition of his Game dinner series.

Now, the two are collaborating again. This time they're in Sydney, to create a chapter in Vivid's Chef Series at Ester.

Over three nights, the duo will cook up an eight-course storm featuring the best Australian produce they can get their hands on. Prepare for super-fresh seafood, bold flavours and plenty of fire — the two chefs both love cooking over it.

Tickets, at $250 per person, are available online. You can add matching wines for $150. Looking for other spots to dine during Vivid?
