Josh Niland: Cooking for Our Future

Overview

He's one of Sydney's most in-demand chefs, as well as the award-winning seafood maestro and sustainability guru behind celebrated Paddington restaurant Saint Peter. And in January, you can get a front-row seat to hear from the man himself, with Josh Niland zipping into Melbourne to join the Australian Open 2023's stacked food program.

Niland's sustainable fish and chipper Charcoal Fish will be making its Melbourne debut, popping up at the AO Beach Bar to treat locals to goodies like the rotisserie Murray cod roll with gravy and crispy skin, plus the cult-favourite double yellowfin tuna cheeseburger.

And on Tuesday, January 17, the chef will take the stage for an intimate chat as part of the AO Talk Series. Audiences will hear about Niland's game-changing zero-waste, whole-fish philosophy, and the approach to sustainability that's earned him international applause. He'll share big ideas, a solid dose of culinary wisdom and plenty of inspiration along the way.

Tickets to the 8.30am talk clock in at $69, which also includes a Ground Pass to hit the AO for the rest of the day. The session will take place at the AO Beach Bar, near Gate 1–3 of Melbourne Park.
